Thanks for the info - I found some of that in the archives last night,
but your write-up makes it very clear.

Using google, I find several people asking about how to make the
irblaster work, but no reports of it actually working on this device.

Does anyone on the list know if the pvr150 uses the same ir
receiver/transmitter chip as the IR-blaster-enabled Wintv-pvr-usb2?
There's a pvr150 driver with lirc that I've been experimenting with.

Sounds like it's time to dig into the lirc mail list archives.
