A lot of VCR/DVD recorders have a "blaster" that will send IR codes to
a set top box or converter.


A digital Personal Video Recorder (PVR) can be programmed just like a VCR to
turn on, change channels and record the desired program. They have two
tuners so you can watch a different channel if you like or you can record
two programs at the same time.
