I have one directv tunner thats being controlled via serial cable. What if I get two more directv receivers? How do I control (change channel) on the other two? I may have one more spare serial port but thats it. Can an IR blaster control multiple directv tuners? and change different channels on different tunners? I know I need addition pvr 250's. I just don't understand where the different signals to change channels on these boxes are coming from? |

Davem: That makes sence but what if you wanted to add a third or fourth directv receiver? then how do you control them? |

Alternately, depending on kernel USB support, you might be able to get away with a USB-to-serial cable like this: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductde ... 6812101112 -brendan |
