I'm considering buying a USB-UIRT for use in a BeyondTv/SageTv setup. I'd want the unit to server as both the receiver for the remote, and the transmitter for control of my Dish Network receiver (for unattended channel changing when BeyondTv/SageTv needs to receord something).
This seems like an obvious dilema... if I place the UIRT so that my remote will hit it from the couch, it is not going to be able to transmit to the Dish Network receiver. Wouldn't it be better if the UIRT had the receiver on one end and the transmitter on the other end?
I suppose I'm going to need an external transmitter to solve this problem. Where can I get one? Or can I build my own?
Thanks,
Jeremy
