I recently bought a hp computer and it came with an IR Blaster Cable which is basically a long thin cord with what looks like an audio-shaped plugin and on the other end is a small red plastic light.Where do I plug this in?What is it used for?I also have another cord that i plugged in, which i think is used for the computer remote to access media, it looks similar but has a little black box receiver thing instead of a red light** also my computer is supposed to have a tv tuner and thus far I havent been able to connect to any tv channels.

IR stands for Infra Red and an IR blaster is a remote option for things which would otherwise be controlled through a keyboard I guess that IR blaster is for the TV inside your computer One end should go somewhere in the back of the PC where the bum of the TV card is sitting but there should be an added device in which you can plug the other end of the cable
An IR blaster lets the PC send out infrared signals, basically letting it act like a remote control. You use it to let the PC control a cable box, satellite receiver, or something like that. How you use it would depend on the software on your computer, and it should come with instructions. If your PC has a TV tuner in it, then it should have an antenna or cable TV hookup on the back of it; you'd have to hook your cable or antenna into it before you could see any TV channels on it.
