[mythtv-users] Commercial IR transmitter

[DanM]

Anshuman, Not a problem.  Did you get the reciever circuit to work?  I 
could never get it to work.  I do have a packard bell ir reciever that I 
tried to modify and put the ir transmitter on, but the pack bell circuit 
uses DTR for some other purpose so I couldn't modify it :(
