If you're handy you can build one (or more) off the many different
instructions around the place - I used
http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html
(though it appears the dynamic DNS isn't keeping up to date at the
moment - it should come back shortly)
or some other sources at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Using_an_IR_Blaster_with_MythTV

It's really very simple to make one - a serial cable, IR LED, diode
and resistor, bit of heatshrink tubing or insulation tape - $10-$20
depending on what you have lying around and about 30 mins work.
