[mythtv-users] Mythbuntu->irtrans->Dish

I guess my case makes it complicated or maybe I am complicating things.  My
box, OrigenAE X11, came with a USB IR receiver integrated into it, so in
order for me to transmit it was recommended that I get a blaster of some
sorts.  So I got the USB-UIRT.  Now the only time that I have been able to
get the receiver to work is when I use the IRtrans server that also came
with it.  Somehow I can't seem to get the USB-UIRT and the USB IR
transceiver in the box to work together (transmit and receive respectively).

I understand that It is possible to have more than one LIRC device working
at the same time, but I haven't been able to accomplish such a magical feat
so far,  I am able to get the transmitter side, USB-UIRT,  to work however.
So, I am thinking, why not attempt to get the two working sides together?
Thus this request for help.  Since I havent been able to get any traction on
the Mythbuntu forums, i figured I would open my query to a broader audience.

Thanks,
