[mythtv-users] Almost got my LIRC problem

[Shay - MythTV]

It Works!  I ended up having to go in and hand delete all the lirc files 
that MythTV-Suite puts in.  They were being put in 2 separate places and 
must have been conflicting..  Its weird that they would be in 2 locations.. 
It's also weird that few others see this behavior.

Well, now I just have to work on getting the video playback quality 
better..  not sure if its that or the recording quality.

Thanks for the help!
