Roger,

Thanks for all the info.

To be clear: are you using the HVR-1950 only in respect of receiving IR 
signals from a remote control (with which to control various 
applications running on the machine to which the tuner is connected), or 
are you also using the IR blaster for generating IR signals with which 
to control external devices such as a set-top box?

What I'm after is the latter: I'm stashing a couple of set-top boxes in 
the machine room and I need the MythTV backend to be able to change 
channels on them without human intervention.

Thanks, Jan
