Controlling this signal with Myth shouldn't be hard since I have the IR blaster that comes with the hauppauge card; why did they make that cord so short?!?!
Think again. Unless they've changed things recently, what comes with the Hauppauge cards is an IR *receiver* not a transmitter. It can't control external devices.
Also is it possible to build a device that would allow the computer to communicate with the dish box over RF, something like an RF blaster...grin.
I know it's been done, but it's not easy. I can't think of what one would Google to find it.
Your best bet might be to use IR but put the box in a place where it can't be accessed at all by the youngins. Once the video connections are set up, using the remote to change channels on it wont do anything useful, anyway, since the video will be routed to your PVR box, not the TV.
