I'm using a CommandIR (version 2), which supports blasting to up to 4
devices as well as IR receiving. I'm using it to control 2 devices. It's
pretty stable, but I had to put it on a USB hub because it would
occasionally fail when connected directly. The nice part about it is that
it was designed for LIRC, so it also supports the set_transmitter command.
