So you'd need a USB-serial adapter for the second receiver if you went
that way, if the receivers you used had serial control. That's a couple
of big IFs.
LIRC-based blasters need a serial port, and generally won't work with
the USB-serial adapters. The MyBlaster runs from a serial port, but will
work with a USB adapter.
So the only way to control 2 receivers of any type would be with an
add-in serial card or a MyBlaster with USB adapter for the second
receiver, or just possibly a parallel to serial converter, but that's
starting to get ridiculous.
