[mythtv-users] Fios set top boxes

[Mark J. Scheller]

I have the FIOS STB, and it is a Motorola.  I had to install a serial port
driven IR blaster in order to change channels on it.  It was very easy to do
and works flawlessly!  The only concern is how to tell if the box has been
shut off for whatever reason, but that has only happened a couple of time.

Good luck!
