Linux Infrared Remote Control

O.k., it's been awhile since I last took a shot
at LIRC.  That time, I was successful in getting
set up to decode the transmitters for both my
Dish Network satellite receiver and Sony TV.  I
was also able to control my TV.

Unfortunately, my main goal was to control the
satellite receiver so that I can use it with my
MPEG encoder to record programs.  After some
discussion, I was content that I would have to
watch the remote on a 'scope for a few hours
before I would get further.

Tonight I was at Best Buy and picked up an RCA
Universal Remote, RCU500 for ~15USD.  I have
been able to use it to control the receiver
using code #078 (Echosphere).

I doubt I'll have time to spend with a 'scope
soon, and even when I do I won't know exactly
what to do, so...I'm willing to pay someone else
to do it.  I'm guessing that there's someone out
there who knows how to do this and lives near a
Best Buy.  Is $50 enough to cover the cost of
the remote and sufficient pizza?

If you're interested, please let me know.  (I
don't want multiple people spending time on it.)

Thank you!
