What is the STB Limit?

What is the most STB's one can have be controlled by Sage?

Can multiple Uirt's coexist? I have 3 Cable boxes setup up now and my bro-in-law is staying for a while and he is bringing his sat setup. Can I either have 2 USB-UIRTs with 2 zones or does Sage Recorder setup on another PC on my network allow my to setup his Sat STBs and have the Sage Server utilize them?

I also had my USB-UIRT working well with an IR200L. So I believe 4 per system unless multi UIRTs work?

Theoretically: the same as the number of tuners you have, but there may be a catch...

Some details are in Appendix F of the manual. You can only use a single USB-UIRT, but you can use multiple IR-200L devices.

While the USB-UIRT has only 3 zones, if all the STBs use different IR codes, you can have them all blast from the same single zone and you can control more than 3 STBs at a time. If they all use the same IR codes, you are stuck with one 3-zone USB-UIRT + any IR-200L units for a single PC.
