Setting up LIRC ir sending for sky box

[gazlang]

Ok, I have a 'homebrew' ir sender that connects to my pc's rs232 serial port see http://www.irblaster.info/
I want to control my UK SKY digibox with it through mythtv (and perhaps then attempt the same in another install with VDR). I have a lircd.conf file for my sky remote and have installed lirc to use the ir sender. However, I dont know how to test this.

Now I have hit a wall. Has anyone managed success in doing this? Do I need to set up a device template for a sky box (av equip) and / or the ir sender?

Any guide will be great

Cheers

We are working towards this now with the USBUIRT and now also the MS MCE USB Transceiver (which now supports blasting under 0710). The blasting needs to work across the whole LMCE system not just inside Myth (or in our case VDR). I'll report progress here when I have some news.
