<div><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt"><div>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.<br>

I would suspect 2 HD-PVRs would do the same. I solved the issue by cusing UDEV rules and creating symlinks. I then referenced the symlinks in MythTV. An example can be found at:</div>
