each of them individually via serial cable, then you don't need blasters<br>
at all. As I understand it, your PC has a single serial port. So that<br>
connects to one cable box via serial, then the usb->serial adapter<br>
connects to another serial cable which goes to the other cable box.<br>
>From there you can use the dct-channel to control both boxes, and just<br>
vary the parameter to determine which box you're controlling. No LIRC<br>
needed, no blasters needed, no electrical tape, no changing remote codes<br>
on boxes needed...<br>
