Re: External Tuner (SA1850) and Actisys-200L?

[David C. <dr...@co...>]

Is your motorola dct2000 a scientific atlanta box?  My cable box 
(external tuner) is the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 1850 
(http://www.sciatl.com/products/consumers/Exp1850.htm). 

I have tried both the 
Actisys-200L(http://www.mytvstore.com/product_id_003.html) using the 
remote_sir module and your IR Blaster (http://www.irblaster.info/) using 
the remote_serial module to no avail.
