I've since removed the original IguanaIR channel change scripts... but may be able to resurrect where I copied them from.<br><br>I purchased the "two plugs" version" with two plug in emitters. I also tried using stereo-mono splitters on the emitters hoping that was the issue... but no avail.<br>
<br>If the consensus is that the IguanaIR is worth the effort, then I don't mind resurrecting it... it just seemed like more trouble then it was worth a few months back.<br><br clear="all">God Bless,<br><br>Ben T. Eisemann<br>
