i just set up the sam ts160 with my old showstopper. it didn't have the data port i was used to so i tried ir blaster. There were no codes for the sam. tech said they might be discourageing coping? Anyway, exchanged it back at CC for the hughes htl-hd which does have data port. Back in business. (God forbid my wife misses the sitcom while at work) 
Eventually want to want to go hd pvr but for now it's an area to watch for when getting the newer hd receiver
