[mythtvnz] IR Blasters and Pace STB

> 1. Anyone got this working correctly.

IR blasters can be tricky things, of my whole myth system, its the one 
part where I feel it isn't rock solid, it just feel like its duct taped 
together and could stop working at any moment and prove impossible to 
get working again.
Everytime I rebuild, it seems to require a different set of steps and 
black magic to get it working again.
I wrote some brief notes on getting it working and they are on the 
knoppmyth wiki site, but its currently down so I can't give you a URL.

In terms of positioning, mine is actually sitting at a 45 degree angle 
to the decoder (taped to the side of my mythbackend), so long as its 
pointing in the general direction it will be fine, distance is not 
critical so long as its not too close and not too far away (half a meter 
should be fine).

When the knoppmyth wiki site is back up, have a look at that, I have 
some script snippets on their that I have used in the past to get it 
working.
There isn't really a definitive guide though because it seems a bit weird.
