I am shopping for a DVD Recorder and am trying to determine how
important an IR Blaster is..........I am not sure what a IR Blaster
is.........my understanding is it allows the DVD Recorder to control
the cable box and switch channels

Very few DVD Recorders have an IR blaster..........as an alternatice
could you just split the cable and bybass the cable box and bring it
straight into the dvd recorder?

If this does not work can you buy and aftermarket IR Blaster and add it
to the DVD recorder?

Thanks for any input

Mark
