[mythtv-users] Symlink question

[Robert Kulagowski]

OK, lets stop for a second before you get more confused.

You have a PVR-250 with the little IR dongle that plugs into the PVR 
card, correct?

As root, type:
# rm -rf /dev/lirc
# mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0
# chmod a+rw /dev/lirc

First, you're getting rid of any old /dev/lirc that may be sitting 
around.  The "/dev/lirc symlink" issue only applies if your IR receiver 
is on COM1 or COM2.  It's not, so no symlink.

Next, you're creating a character device called /dev/lirc with major 61, 
  minor 0

Finally, you're making it read/writeable.

All your other lirc issues should be asked on the lirc list.
