If you want to use an IR Blaster, take a look at this page: http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html
info was recently added on controlling 2 direct tv boxes with 1 ir blaster.
you should also be able to find a cable that goes from the header on your mother board to a standard DB9 connector at a computer shop or on the net (or you could make one with some parts from your local electronics store)

What kind of hardware do I need to have MythTv control my 2 DirectTv boxes? Both have serial interfaces so my thoughts are that I plug a IR receiver into a USB port and have two serial cables running from the myth box to the directtv boxes? And I control this whole setup with LIRC and MythTv? If the fancy new Asus motherboard I am looking at only has one internal serial connector (no external?) am I in trouble? Are addon serial cards supported?
Thanks for the help. Any hardware recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
