ExeMultiTuner? Is this a 32-bit program?

One Colossus and one OTA dual tuner which doesn't require IR.

If there's more than one Hauppauge IR-capable device/tuner installed, only one of them will actually drive the IR blaster. But there's no way to explicitly select which device is used. I can't find my notes; it's either the first or the last one that was installed.

Is Hauppauge's BlastCfg.exe able to send IR codes?

No that's a tuner stub program for SageTV, lets you run a script or command line program to change the channel.

Using that, you can set up a script to either dump the tuner and channel to a file and use EG Directory Watcher, or better yet use a script that sends the info to EG using wget or similar as an HTTP event.

I use the latter method to send the info via HTTP to EG where it can decode the channel and tuner, then blast the channel to the STB. I do it to a remote system but I have also used both methods locally and it works fine.

Yes, it works fine.
