[mythtv-users] Telewest and redeye IR blaster

I've just got my telewest cable box (Atlanta 4200) set up with the
redeye serial blaster using the simple program that comes on the
website and was wondering what other people used in general. It seems
very inefficient to power up the blaster every time (waiting 2 seconds
for it to do so) before sending a single command and switching off.
Wouldn't it be better to have a daemon that listened for text on a
pipe and just sent it straight out to the ir blaster, with Myth
calling a shell script that did this?

What setups do other people use, especially with the Redeye system?

Thanks,
Robin
