[mythtv-users] Comcast DTA's What are you doing?

[Michael Jones]

Well.. I do have one of the boxes set up on my regular TV in my  
office..  I could easily capture the signals from IRRecord.

I have a dual tuner backend and two of the DTA's sitting here in a box  
waiting to be connected so I'm assuming that I need two separate  
blasters or something capable of 2 output channels.  I think that the  
MS USB receiver has 2 output ports.. but I don't know if they're  
separately addressable.   What's the going recommendation on blaster  
type hardware to send the signals once I collect them?

Thanks,

- Michael
