serial IR Blaster

Thanks a bunch for the post. Very helpful.

I assume the steps are different if I want to use a serial blaster like found here: http://www.irblaster.info/

What I will be doing is connecting the coax-out from the Pace to the coax-in of my Hauppauge PVR-250 analog tuner (fixed to channel 3 or 4 in this case). I will not be using any of the IR features of the PVR-250. In fact, my PVR-250 only has an IR receiver, not an emitter. I use the PVR-250 receiver as a means for controlling myth menus from my universal remote.

Anyway, in my case, would I just need to update my /etc/lirc.conf with the Pace entry? And then I know I need to install lirc_serial in addition to the lirc_i2c I am using now. And then I would have 2 lirc devices in use. Then, I would pair up the serial IR emitter with the Pace receiver. And, I hope, see results.

Thoughts?
Larry
