All this talk about remotes has got me thinking. I was initially going
to get one of those pack bell remotes for a few bucks. But then I
realized that I only have one serial port! I am also going to need an IR
transmitter to change channels on a cable box. 

I like the idea of the ATI USB RF remote, but my MythTV isn't going to
have the keyboard focus. I need a lirc device.. and that means using a
serial port. 

Are there any USB IR transmitters?
