Hi William, yes, I've been using your myblaster script MANY years.  Did 
you read this entire thread?  Because my original problem is that I 
can't get my myblaster to work right.  I have two receivers and they 
both respond to the same Device Code (0167).

Do you know if changing the Dish Network Remote Address has anything to 
do with the Device Code that the settop box "listens" on?  If the answer 
is "no", then do you know how to get my receivers to only respond to one 
Device Code?

receiver 1:  responds to 0167
receiver 2:  responds to 0167 and 1086

Thanks,
Ajay

PS.  Sorry to include you in the CC list, I just really need an answer 
to this because everyone is out of the house this week and it's the only 
time I can do my television "experiments".   :)
