I just got my satellite installed today, a two room install with 2 Hughes GAEBOA receivers. IR blaster works with my 5175 perfectly well. This receiver does not have a serial port so controlling it via that would be impossible. I already have an RCA DRD420RE here and am waiting for my acess card so I can have serial access, but the IR blaster has worked fine for a few hours now.
I also had this misfortune of my RTV 5175 going commiting hari kari on me and throwing itself into the reboot of death. Lost a weeks worth of shows I hadn't watched, including 3 episodes of Farscape!
I am also saving myself $20/month by ditching Digital cable and getting the $9/month local channel cable/HSI along with 2-room satellite.
