I did some tests with the embedded IR Blaster on a PVR-150... In short, just forget it ! On the contrary, I bougth a commandir toy (coming in Europe with 4 irblaster, the delivery depends on the shopping area, no idea why...). That thing is amazing ! It works really out of the box, don't need any kernel module (just download/compile lircd and start with the commandir driver). I learned (mostly for fun) some IR I had at home, and I can use it from Linux very easily. In freevo, I had to adapt a little bit the script, but there is no need of big pythonic knowledge : the script is straighforward, and basically, you just have to change one or two lines to create the correct line argument to irsend. I only encounter a small trouble (well, not so small !) The IRCommand toy seems to be a little hungry, and I had to add a powered USB Hub to have it to work (according to http://www.commandir.com, this is a known trouble of motherboard with an NVidia chipset)
