Hello,
I've come one step closer to a completed MythTV install by ordering an
IR Blaster from www.irblaster.info <http://www.irblaster.info> and a
PVR-150 + IR receiver & remote. I will be controlling a GI CFT2254
cable box with it. I think I understand everything I will need to do to
get this system up and running, but I am curious - will it be possible
for me to add a second PVR-150 connected to an identical CFT2254 and
have them change channels independently via lirc? I'd like to use one
of the tuners for live television, while still having the option to
record via a second cable box at the same time.
You should be fine but you will need two SEPARATE instances of lircd
running. Also, my experience has shown that you do not want both
instances of lircd changing channels at the same time. On my system if
they change channels at the same time both instances of lircd die and
only about half of the IR commands make it to the cables boxes. I solved
this by having one of the channel change scripts sleep three seconds
before changing the channel. This might not work so well for you if you
use live TV alot, which I hardly ever do.
Just curious if I'll need to source more hardware when I reach this
point in my project.
Thanks in advance,
