I have a working gbpvr setup with two WinTV-PVR-150 MCE capture cards. Remote control is via winlirc and irex with a universal remote. I've been receiving over the air analog signals and I'm ready to make the transition to digital. I've ordered my coupons but now I'm stuck.
To control both digital stbs I figure I need a dual blaster - something like the Double Headed blaster from http://www.irblaster.info/
As I understand it the blaster sends all signals to both heads - so I'm thinking it would change both stbs at the same time - always changing them to the same channel. Am I right or am I missing something?
If I am right how do I prevent that? Buy two different branded stbs that use different codes? Buy some special stb that allows me to choose other codes? Or do I need to buy a different kind of blaster?
Any advice? If I've missed some post or wiki page please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
