OK, I tried to do "irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 0"...that gave me an invalid
argument error. I tried 1 and 2, and they took...i tried 3 and it said error
- maximum of 2 transmitters.

Still nothing when I send on transmitter 1. Also, I know my setup is
correct. I have my cable box on transmitter 2 and sound system on
transmitter 1. Lirc is able to power on and off and change channels on the
cable box, and if I plug the other ir cable into transmitter 2 (the cable
for my sound system), lirc is then able to power on and off my sound system,
but only when that cable is plugged into transmitter 2.

A sort of fix for me would be if I could use some type of splitter, since my
devices are not the same device, this would work fine for me. Any ideas?
-Thanks
