I am thinking a IR Blaster is a physical piece of hardware that is placed in front of the DTA's sensor? Is there a IR Blaster that is suggested for my hardware and software?

Yes, the blaster is a physical bit of hardware. He's saying you can still set it up without the blaster, just to check you can see the video coming through etc. It won't be able to change channels on the DTA, but it will show the channel the DTA is currently tuned to.

Sorry for the confusion I forgot you were using a Hauppauge HVR 2255 but trying to avoid paying licenses and already have h/w encoding

I definitely want it to change channels as needed for recording. Is there one I should consider?

didn't your HVR-2255 come with a blaster? my 2250 did.

Quote:I definitely want it to change channels as needed for recording.Yeah, I get that. I was just saying you can check the rest of your setup before you get a blaster. Quote:Is there one I should consider?I don't use one myself, so can't give you a recommendation. Some of the HVR-2255's come with an IR blaster, so it'd make sense to try this first if your device came with one.

Depends if you want an ir receiver too. This is cheap http://hauppauge.com/site/webstore2/webs...aster.html for just blasting.
