Yes, there are indeed multiple phases/cycles/whatever, but they are not
repeats in that the sequences between the gaps seem quite different from
one another.

Thanks Martin. I've tried your file but irrecord chokes on it.

Meanwhile I've made some more changes to my config file in order to be
robust in the face of multiple combinations of MCE transceivers (Philips
and Fintek) and STBs (Digibox HD and Digicorder HD). There's also a
serial blaster on its way here, so once I test that as well I'll post a
new version.

But early indications are that I don't need quite as many phases/cycles,
and reducing the number somewhat seems to improve the robustness.

But in any event I do have a working configuration now, which I have
pressed into service.

Thanks, Jan
