The first(digital PCIe)card and the second(analog PCI)card worked
great. When I put the third(digital PCI)card in the box the IR blaster
stopped working, evident by the following terminal output:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/local/bin/check_stb
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE DCT700 info
irsend: hardware does not support sending
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$

None of the cards are blaster capable, so I use a serial port IR
blaster. The new card is a PCTV 800i, I suppose pulling it would test
if it is having an adverse effect on the IR baster, is there an easier
way?
