I get the impression that linux cannot use the IR Blaster in the Hauppauge 1212 yet.
HD-PVR IR blaster (sigh)
I am just going to hang tight for now. I ordered a couple of HP IR receivers and they appear to have a spot to plug in an IR blaster. When they come in I will try again using those rascals.

Jarod Wilson (of Mythdora fame) got the PVR-1212's irblaster tentatively working back in early September:

I'm not sure if his patches have made it into the mainline code yet. It's only a matter of time.

Based on this message it sounds like the patch hasn't made it into the mainline MythTV code yet:

It does sound like Jarod is planning on including them in the next Mythdora release which should be coming out very soon. Fedora12 was just released yesterday.

Unless you're using Fedora 12 you'll have to do some compiling on your own to get the IR blaster working. The wiki has been updated with instructions:

I'm sure by the next release of Mythbuntu and LinHES this will be supported out of the box.
