[QUOTE="sjeffrey, post: 420287, member: 81884"] It took me a while to figure out the damn 1/8" but it's actually fairly simple. First, you definetly have sender and receiver. The optional component is 56Khz which most people don't need. If you only have 1 receiver then you probably just need to put the UIRT somewhere on top of it and it will bounce off couch, wall or coffee table and your receiver will get the signal. I just got a second STB and had to use the external blasters because both STBsare using the same IR codes. All I had to was use a old headphone jack and cut the wire. Take both IR blasters you got with HD-PVR (obviously I need 2 HD-PVRs to use 2 STBs) and cut the wires. You then hook one side of one of the blasters to red and the other side to ground wires, do the same with the other but connect white and ground. Test using virtual remote or TVServer plugin, port 1 and port 2 are external, port 3 is the internal one. Make sure you restart TVServer after, I wasted 30 minutes trying to figure out why it wouldn't work in mediaportal... [/QUOTE]
