[mythtv-users] IR blaster questions

[Pete Stagman]

Scott,
There  are a bunch of options, including building your own blaster,
it's really not that hard.
Check out the how-to's Andy and I have made.
www.lircsetup.com
for multiple blasters check this page www.lircsetup.com/lirc/multi/ 
although I'm in the process of updating the multi page, you'll get the
basic idea.
