Yup. And with lirc, it can do it at the same time. I've got my main
setup programmed for something like 10 remotes. I'm not actually *using*
all of them, but it let me experiment with the remotes without removing
the ones that I knew were working.
You actually need to start thinking more about lirc than about the MCE
receiver. The strength lies with lirc.
