This cable box uses a 57600 frequency and the act200l is hardcored to
38000 in the lirc_sir driver, there's patch that changes it but it
doesn't seem to help... it seems the only way to get a blaster to work
with this box is a homebrew blaster, since lirc_serial supports
frequency changes in the lircd.conf file -Dan
