Overview

The USB-UIRT, short for "Universal Infrared Receiver/Transmitter," allows any USB-equipped PC to exchange infrared signals with common audio/video equipment. For Beyond TV users who receive their television signal via satellite or cable boxes, the USB-UIRT completes a critical link: it allows the PC running Beyond TV to tune to the channels received on your receiver box so you can watch live TV and make recordings. Best of all...the infrared signal means that the connection between PC and receiver box is wireless. Additionally, this USB device does away with the hassles of similar devices that use a serial connection.
