I thought that an IR Blaster was just simply a remote. As for changing
the channel on the Sat box, I saw a setting for changing channels on an
external device in 'mythtvsetup.' I just didn't know how I would
implement it and wasn't able to experiment because I didn't have
satellite in the area I built the machine at.
As for the antenna, I will have to check that. That would definately
makes things much easier.
