[mythtv-users] Hauppauge IR compatible with IR repeater system

[Michelle Dupuis]

Exactly - my equipment (HTPC and more) is in the basement, all IR rx and
movie projection etc is upstairs.  So, the only way my IR signal gets to my
HTPC is through the Xantech repeater.

My Hauppauge card was also an OEM version - so no remote and no IR cable
(but the card appears to have the IR receiver onboard).

He may be using another IR receiver and the connecting block to move all of
his components to another, remote location. This is very common in custom
install.
