One Small Step

After some cries for help to the manufacturer, I've finally made some progress with the IR.

Reconfiguring LIRC (again) has finally let me successfully record and then retransmit IR signals to my Sky box. A small, but significant step forward.

I've discovered that recording things in raw mode seems to work OK - where the software doesn't try to work out the coding scheme being used but just regurgitates the codes as it captures them. This is a bit of a relief, as it makes the process a little simpler.

Having got LIRC working, I can now go back to my custom software and see where I can get with that. This isn't easy, but at least I'm making progress again.
