I have this vague recollection that for Fedora someone (Jarod?) was
going to poke someone about finally getting the IguanaIR code into
(I think) rpmfusion to avoid some of the wobbles for those on Fedora.
Since at least one of the IguanaIR variants can support 4 transmitters,
it works quite well if you have a number of DTAs and analog tuners.

The MCE USB units, on the other hand, work "out of the box" for
most.  There is something to be said for that for many.
