Still stuck - Multiple cable boxes / multiple serial lirc instances

Hello all,
I've been struggling with this issue for about two months now to no avail.
I am hoping that perhaps someone here can confirm or deny that they've
accomplished this successfully, and if so... perhaps let me know how you
managed to?
The scenario is as follows:
I have MythTV 0.19 running on FC4. I currently have a PVR-150 and a PVR-500
in the machine. All three are detected via ivtv properly, and I have
confirmed all are capturing from the respective inputs successfully. These
three encoders are attached to three analog GI CFT-2254 cable boxes.
I currently have two instances of lirc configured as per
http://www.eggshellskull.com/, one as an IR receiver on the PVR-150, and one
as a serial IR blaster controlling the first of three cable boxes which has
its output sent to the PVR-150.
My issue:
These cable boxes can not be set up to use multiple addresses as some set
top boxes can. As such, I am required to use multiple serial adapters
(which I have purchased from irblaster.info) and connect each one to a
seperate serial port. No problem there...
