Raspberry Pi - RaspBMC - Dish Remote
Although the focus of this post is narrow, I figure it may help someone out.
I have a Dish remote (6.3 IR/UHF PRO) and found that when using the VCR mode button, the Sony DVD code 617 worked the best with XBMC on Raspbian (RaspBMC - version June 2013). The only quirk I found was that the left direction button doesn't work. Its not that major of an annoyance, but perhaps after enjoying my flirc for a few days I'll see if I can resolve the issue.
Thanks to Jason and the rest of the team
I have a 6.2 IR/UHF PRO from Bell TV and after trying code 667 found major keys missing like all the arrows and surrounding buttons which made it useless I figure it was close enough to you 6.3 that the codes should be about the same but if they are you must not use those buttons.
The sat mode is hard coded to UHF so it was useless even though all keys work (I don't use Bell anymore and got the remote out of a box)
Finally I figured out the perfect code that has every button work. I program
