Does your set top box have the option to change IR code set?

I currently run two satellite receivers off one LED on my MCEUSB blaster. I have two 
channel change scripts, mapped to two HD-PVRS. one sends out remote ID 0001 and the other 
is ID 0002
It works excellent. There is no issue of collisions because mythtv backend waits for one 
channel change to finish before starting the next.
