Just got USB UIRT

I have two cable boxes I want to control, so I just bought & received my USB-UIRT from Frey's. I have 1 box hooked up right now via ir200L. Do I NEED to buy a couple of emitters? Where can I find detailed setup instructions? Also, is the UIRT all the hardware I need to custom program my remote control? I have the Hauppauge and ATI Remote Wonder. Which is better. IYHO? What remote would work better to also control other applications? I use Cayars STV which uses third party apps for video and dvd playback and want better control of them.

Thanx in advance.

You only need extra emitters if the boxes are the same & use the same IR codes. If that is the case, then you'll need to set up zoned output. In the hardware forum, there is an index thread for remote info -- check it for a link to USB-UIRT instructions.

Thanx Andy,


Both boxes use the same remotes, so yes I guess I will have to setup zones. Anybody out there use a remote control with PowerDVD 6? Does the UIRT with Girder installed give me everything I need to program either the Hauppauge ot ATI remotes to work with Sage and PowerDVD 6, or should I be looking for a new one?

Also, can I find these emitters at Radio Shack or do I need to order them online somewhere?
