Re: IR Blaster control of Dish Network vip222K SD (TV2) output?

[Valkyrie-MT <val...@gm...>]

Very few are aware that this is in fact possible.  I have a VIP222 (no k) and 
it works.  You have to get the TV2 IR Converter made by Dish Network.  It was 
made for people with sling boxes to control TV2.  Here's a link:

converter-kit.html

I actually just replaced the VIP222 today with a VIP222K and am configuring it 
now.  I use Windows Media Center though... but that shouldn't make a 
difference.
