[mythtv-users] PVR-150 and the IR Blaster

[Rich West]

And I got it working. :)  Very cool.  And setting up the IR blaster in 
the right spot on the set top box is definitely important. :)

The patch was required in order to get it to compile, and then it was a 
matter of tweaking the modprobe.conf file accordingly.

Thanks for all the help!
