Hello David et al, I'm setting up a new MythTV box and I notice a patch just got submitted to Lirc for the USB-UIRT product. It appears this device supports an external emitter. I need to be able to control two separate digital cable tuners of the same model. Would I be able to accomplish this with the USB-UIRT and an external emitter like the following one? http://www.smarthome.com/8171.html If both cable boxes are Sci Atl 3250 (non-HD), how would Lirc know which one is which? I was planning to get a Hauppage PVR-500, but since my system has plenty of PCI slots, I could just get two PVR-150's with the integrated IR receiver and blaster. Would this work better in my situation? Thanks. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||. Cisco Linux Developer | ..:|||||||:...:|||||||:..
