It would seem the driver you are using believes that
there is only one transmitter.

When your kernel enumerates the device (usually displayed
in the kernel messages (dmesg), I would think it *should*
show something like:

    mceusb <usb_port>: 2 tx ports (0x0 cabled) and 2 rx sensors (0x1 active)

If it shows only 1 tx port (or only 1 cabled?), perhaps
the device is being incorrectly identified (there are a
lot of mceusb (somewhat) compatible clones out there,
and perhaps you have one of that needs an updated
driver, or you need to re-seat the ir blaster cable),
but first make sure the kernel is seeing what you think
you have.
