[mythtv-users] USB -> serial ir blaster troubleshooting

[Travis Tabbal]

Given the price of that blaster, it's probably one of the simple ones that
won't work with a USB to serial converter. USB just doesn't support the kind
of direct timing required to make those work. It can be done with USB, but
you need a smarter device on the end.

Check the LIRC list archive for the FTDI based homebrew setup. Sparkfun
sells a little breakout board that you should be able to connect to the IR
LED you have and get going.
