I was not clear.  I don't need to automatically burn a DVD, but can I 
automatically download a tv program (under control of the IR blaster) 
that the DVR set top box has already recorded has previously recorded.  
I guess I am asking that under MythTV control can the IR blaster do more 
that just set the set top box channel, but rather also control the 
playing of material recorded by the set top box DVR.
