Well, the SA box has an IR transmitter plug, and the PVR-150 has an IR<br>receiver plug, so theoretically, if you join them, it should work. I<br>have no idea if it would though, I'm sure someone else will give an<br>
explanation as to why. Cory Papenfuss would likely be able to say, one<br>way or the other. If it did work, I could definitely use this feature...</blockquote><div><br>Well Tom since the SA box can transmit and the PVR-150 can receive then the SA box can issue instructions to the PVR-150, which is not exactly what you would want, unless I'm misreading your message, it happens :). what you'd like is for the SA box to have a receiver and utilize the PVR-150's transmitter so that you can issue commands to the SA box from your linux machine.
