Both would be nice.
As it is right now I have two tower cabinets that I built on either side on my TV. The distance between those towers is about 6 feet (. My USB-UIRT is on the right side of my cabinet near the computer, and the dvd player I want to control is in the OTHER tower. I have the USB-Uirt facing outward to catch the incoming signals, and I have a tail off the back up to my receiver.
I hadn't considered 2 USB-UIRTs and my inital thought was that I could connect another USB-UIRT to the computer to facilitate both sending and receiving of signals on the other side (acting as one big unit). Thinking about it now, I suppose that really wouldn't work because if both USB-UIRTs happened to see the same signal from my remote, it would probably get confused. I may be better off running a Long IR lead over to the other cabinet from the back of the device.
Another one may not be out of the question however, as I plan on doing some "remote translation" as well. Let me know how you guys make out with the Transmit/Receive idea, and if it really is faster.
