Hi guys.
I need some assistance with my new setup here. I've moved to a new place and am slowly rebuilding my IR zone in my spare time.
My first problem is the wiring of my zone. I have a sensor next to the TV which pipes the IR into the Xantech block in the closet and then out to the emitters. I would like to insert the Ocelot in parallel with the Xantech block so my HS install knows what IR was sent and can react if needed. This works GREAT - as long as I only want the Ocelot to monitor the IR. If I attempt to send IR, it appears to lock up. I read a post from Guy in John's IR thread that said the Ocelot can't send and receive at the same time - or did I misunderstand?
My second problem is my Ocelot doesn't seem to want to work with my SA 3250HD box. I had a similar SA box before, so I know it can handle the 58Khz IR - I'm a little stumped. It apparently learns sucessfully - from what I can tell - but I get zilch when I transmit. It's transmitting something, just not something that works.
I would appreciate any insight you guys might have into my issues!
Thanks,
Shane
