My config matches that exactly, with the exception of the remote name,
which I shortened for usability.

Using 'irw' and the original remote for the DTA100, I've confirmed that
the config is indeed correct.  I've also tried using the supplementary
IR receiver you can plug into the back of the DTA, but I only get
marginally better results using that (some codes get recognized, but a
lot are missed altogether).  It's the same story -- I have to
strategically position the transmitter in such a way that would be
impossible (or just very difficult) to permanently mount.

I'm thinking it's just a couple of very much underpowered transmitters,
so I'm guessing I'll need to somehow acquire (or build) new ones that
will work with the USB base unit...
