Reviewing the HVR-2250 on NewEgg again brought up another question.
IIRC, the built-in IR Rx/Tx interface is not yet supported by the
driver versions Steven Toth (and supporters) built to-date.  Is that
still true (i.e. I'll need to get a separate IR interface, such as a
USB Microsoft Media Center type unit)?
