    Default WinTV7 CD 1.3c and IR Blaster (BlastCfg)

    hi, I see WinTV7 supports multiple 1600s, and I see them after I install WinTV7 in the devices pane. Thats good! Earlier I only saw one of my two 1600s.

    Ok, I had to get a STB because of recent encryption (I was clear QAM, but those days are gone). I hooked up one 1600's IR emitter cable to the STB, ran
    'BlastCfg', and everything worked. The 1600 + IR emitter cable (that comes with the 1600) changes the STB channels perfectly.

    I then got a second STB for my other 1600 and wired up the IR Blaster to it.
    But...I have no idea how to configure the IR Blaster for that second board, as everything I do apparently goes only to the first 1600's IR Blaster.

    Is there a way to configure multiple IR Blasters for the multiple 1600s or does that have to wait for an updated BlastCfg?

    Thanks for any help!

    Sorry, WinTV7 (and any other TV software) is only able to access the one blaster exposed by the drivers. This limitation existed long before WinTV7 came along, and while there has been some discussion about removing this limitation, I suspect it'll take quite a while. It'll require a lot changes behind the scenes.
