actisys 200l and explorer digital cable boxes....

[chris j. <chr...@fr...>]

is it possible to use the actisys 200L to control a digital cable box such as 
the explorer?.... the model I have is the 2100 by scientific atlanta. I have 
tried the explorer 200 codes in the the remotes file without success as well 
as recording my own. I can successfully record the codes at least they test 
out well with irw but I can't get them to transmit . I mean if i can record a 
code does that mean the actisys will nessarilly be able to transmit it?.... 
is there a device I might have around the house that is known to work with 
the actisys that I could test it on?... (i've also tried it with a sony tv... 
without any success...)... if anyone has any suggestions i'm willing to try 
them... i don't understand a great deal about ir protocols or anything.... 
but i was told that the actisys was capable of doing this sort of thing so i 
thought i would give it a shot...

thanks...
