[mythtv-users] Re: Photos of myth boxes

[Steve Frank]

The 2117 is the 2116 with an additional base IR transmitter that can be
controlled via RF on the remote. The Remote is essentially the same, but
with the additional piece that you can use without line of site.  I use
one in my kitchen to pause now, where my TV is around the corner and the
IR just doesn't quite make it.

The 2117 is discontinued, I bought the last one at my local RS.  Cost
was the same as the 2116, $30.
