The short answer is, "That's the whole pont of having an IR blaster."
Oh and the PVR-150 (non-MCE) comes with one.

Can you narrow that down a bit? - The cable box needs to decode the digital signal for you. - It's output then goes to your TV or your capture card. - The box can output and the capture card can take the signal in any number of ways:
- Composite - rebroadcast on some channel like 3 or 4 There are also other ways to get the signal from a cable box like Firewire (see the DTV forum). - For this to do you any good you need to be able to control the cable box. This can be done via a serial or firewire port, or using an "IR blaster". An IR blaster is just a IR transmitter that allows your system to emulate the infrared signals sent by your remote control. |
