Larry makes a good point here - if your STB supports firewire that is
a much more reliable way to go than an IR transmitter (this is what I
ended up doing in 2010).  That said, the STB I tried last year (from
Samsung) had the physical Firewire port but the control functionality
was completely disabled.
