Well, the SA box has an IR transmitter plug, and the PVR-150 has an IR 
receiver plug, so theoretically, if you join them, it should work. I 
have no idea if it would though, I'm sure someone else will give an 
explanation as to why. Cory Papenfuss would likely be able to say, one 
way or the other. If it did work, I could definitely use this feature...
