I tried using the HDPVR blasters, and although they work fine the driver is not stable.  (lockup HDPVR/segfault).  I eventually switched back to extern IR blaster device

Subject: [mythtv-users] HD-PVR internal of external IR blaster?

For the last few years I've been using one of the 2 IR blaster ports on my MCE USB IR receiver/transmitter to change channels on my cable box for my HD-PVR.  Is there any advantage to switching over to using the built in blaster in the HD-PVR instead?  For example better channel changing in live TV because the HD-PVR is aware of the channel change etc?  I've never had any issues with the current blaster but I just bought a 2nd HD-PVR and I'm concerned about the /dev/videoX ordering matching up with the blasters in cases where I unplug the USB cables for whatever reason.
