I am another one of the victims of the impending Comcast switch to digital. After many trials and tribulations, I was finally able to get a DC50X box to work with my MythTV setup. I'm using a RS232 IR Blaster ($12 from www.irblaster.info) to control the DC50X. I thought I would post some the details here to help others in the same predicament.

I was able to generate a CCF file for the remote by using several of the tools from Remote Central. I first learned the IR code for the Power button with my TS1000 remote well enough to paste the results into IRTool with DecodeIR DLL and decode them. This showed that the protocol is XMP and the device is 62.16. I then used MakeHex to generate all the proper codes for this device. For each key on the remote, I just had to learn it well enough to decode the function code, and then look up the proper full code in the MakeHex output file. This code was then pasted back into ProntoEdit to generate the CCF file. I have posted this CCF file to Remote Central if anyone is interested.

The next step was to convert the CCF file to a lircd.conf file for use with MythTV. For this I used CCFDecompiler from CCF Tools to convert the .ccf file to an XML file. Then, the pronto2lirc.py script from lirc.org was used to convert the xml file to a lircd.conf file.

Here is my final lircd.conf file. I didn't include all the remote keys in this file because only the numbers and the 'Enter' key are used to change channels on the DC50X.
