[mythtv] Actisys 200L again.

[usenet at wingert.org]

I bought one of these guys, seems to work fine for my cable box.  The range
on it sucks though (maybe 3 feet).  Anyone know of any longer range ones
that work with Linux available?  Also maybe one of these guys where the 
transmitter points in one direction and receiver in another.

Thanks
