Hey Nick,

My blaster came with the pvr-500 that I got. It was the pvr-500, remote, usb
receiver/blaster all in one package. Strange that only 1 port would be
defective/damaged. Guess I could try another one and see if it works, just
sucks since everyone charges restocking fees these days.

-Thanks
