LIRC & ExpressVU/EchoStar receiver

[Matt W. <wh...@ar...>]

I have a brand-new Bell ExpressVU receiver (model 3100).  I have an 
ActiSys ACT-IR200L dongle that I would like to use with LIRC to change 
channels on the receiver.  Unfortunately, I'm having some serious 
problems with that.  The remote definition that comes with LIRC (for 
EchoStar) almost works - some numbers (1 and 4, anyways) send reliably, 
but everything else does not.  Learning the remote using irrecord 
doesn't work at all (it won't detect the space length).

ExpressVU uses the same systems as EchoStar's Dish Network (I believe 
that the 3100 is equivalent to the Dish DP301).  So - has anyone got 
this combination working properly with LIRC?

Thanks!
