Dish / ExpressVu IR Blasters

Uggg. Okay everyone using either Dish Network or Bell ExpressVu:

What IR Blaster are you using and does it work well?

I'm using the Actisys IR200L which seemed to be working fine until two days ago, and no longer am getting 2,3 and 8's to consistently be received by the satellite box (BEV 3100).

Basically, I'm trying to figure out if it's my setup, or if the USB-UIRT is a better choice for this hardware

Do you still have the remote?

I am using USB-UIRT and it took me a bit to get it to learn the channels but it has been flawless

Yup, I still have the remote. I'm really leaning toward going that way, but just wanted to see what everyone else thought about it first.. I don't want to spend another $55 for a 40% chance of changing to the correct channel. lol... Ah well, live and learn
