[mythtv-users] IR Blaster and Dish Network

[Jesse Adelman]

I've used The MyBlaster/Serial since I brought up my Myth box back in
August of 2004, and it has been just a solid, and blissfully
uneventful, performer: http://www.mytvstore.com/product_id_004.html .
The excellent Linux/Perl script by William Munson that they host offers
complete control over your cable box, and does not require LIRC at all
(see http://www.mytvstore.com/mythtv_linux.html). Oh, and did I say it
does not require LIRC *at all*? OK, just making sure.

For me, and my PVR-350 remote (which does need LIRC), this means
heaven.

Have fun,
