Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 Hybrid Capture Card Software

[meccano]

Hi,

I now use TWO Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 Hybrid Video capture cards in
my Windows XP PC with GB-PVR and use one of them to signal an IR Blaster that
changes channels on a Motorolla set top box. This setup is working fine.

Now my cable company is moving many channels from analog to the STB
so I want to also start IR blasting on my 2nd capture card. But as I've read
elsewhere in this forum, it seems impossible to run two IR blasters simultaneously
using the Hauppauge driver software as device selection is made at configuration
time.

What I'm not clear about - is there any alternative 3rd party driver software
to control these devices that will overcome this limitation?

You can always use an USBUIRT to control the second box.
