If they work with Homevision directly then they should work with FIRM 
with no problems at all - ie if you plug one in the back of HV and it 
works then you should have no issues. Most (if not all) ir emitters 
only consist of 2 wires,  so either work or don't (obvious I know)
but if they don't it should just be a case of swapping round the 
connections on the emitters...

This I learned while tinkering with building my own emitters... whci 
works out mega cheap in comparison to Xantech ones... What I'm 
actually doing is rather than stick on emitters I'm making a small 
hole in the rear of the equipments case and using a 3.5mm socket. 
inside the kit there are just 2 wires that go to the front 
(internally) with an emitter at the other end. This is then 
positioned next to the internal receiver. All in all it gives a much 
neater appearance ... but as I've said before, I'm a little worried 
about doing the TV and killing myself..

The thing with the HV expansion board is that it can only Zone output 
Franks gear does both input and output which is a distinct 
advantage...
