[mythtv-users] CommandIR II or III and Comcast Shenanigans

[Spencer Herzberg]

Thanks for the input. I just put my order in for the CommandIR III. It is on
the expensive end, but seems to be worth it with the flexibility of 4
blasters plus it is a linux only product so I would like to support their
efforts. Also after reading some reviews, the CommandIR people seem to have
a good support team.
