Please try not to top-post, it make the gremlins angry.

You IR blaster has to be connected to your myth back end. It's blasting, right? 
Myth will be using it to send an Infra Red signal to the stb. Your USB blaster 
should be fine.

The thing you plug into your PVR150 is likely a *receiver*, not a blaster. It's 
designed so that you can use the remote which came with the PVR150 to change 
channels on it.

Don't forget that you need to choose the right input (s-video) for your PVR150 
when you configure it in mythtv-setup, and to tell it to start on channel 3. You 
also need to tell it which script to use to control your stb.
