I've been reading up on the USB-UIRT and am very fascinated by this. However, I'd like to make sure of a few things.
As of now, I have a Hauppauge Win-250 card and am using Sage TV. The way I have Sage setup is for the 250 card to be set at channel 3, and to watch TV I use the remote control to change the channels on the Satellite receiver ( one in a spare bedroom ). If I were to get the UIRT can I setup up Sage so that it now acts as a "seperate receiver" where I would no longer have to have it set to channel 3?
Also, what is the approx range of the IR frequency? If my PC is at the opposite end of my house from the satellite receive will it still be able to communicate?
Thanks in advance
