I've got a problem I'm hoping to get help with.

I've recently setup my Ocelot through a Xantech connecting block, and I'm using it to control my Samsung TV, Scientific Atlanta Cable box, and Kenwood Receiver.

However, I can't seem to control my Dish Networks 311 receiver. I can learn from the remote, but no response from the receiver when I transmit the learned command.

The equipment is in a cabinet with the Xantech equipment and emitters, so the remote isn't directly hitting the receiver when I use the remote and it works fine with the OEM remote and with my universal remote.

I've also tried generating an LIR file from GenIRDB, and don't get any response from the box with this either.

I'm looking for new ideas. I'm comfortable the IR system is working, because the 2 remotes work to control the box. I'm confident the Ocelot learns and transmits OK, because it controls all the other components except the sat receiver. I know both 38K and 56K frequencies work, because the TV is 38 and the SA cable box is 56.

Anyone have any ideas? I can post some saved commands if that would help.

Issue resolved.

After reading about weak IR output of the ocelot, I tried repositioning the IR emitter on the Dish receiver (there are 3 IR LEDs), and sure enough, now everything is working.
