Oh fantastic, Now all the Dish Network subscribers are able to stream their own content since Dish doesn't have any.

Kidding - Theres nothing on cable either :P, but they are probably gonna have some damn fine boxes now :D

What is IR Blasting? My crappy cable box has that and I thought it was something to do with the IR signal from the remote being amplified so it could control both the TV and the cable box from the same distances.

ir blasting is where a device sends an infrared signal to another device to control it like a remote i.e. a slingbox uses an irblaster to control a satelite receiver or a cable box. (to change channels on the other unit)
