It works with homebrew receivers, no need to uninstall.

I don't have a serial reciever and I could be mistaken, but I think all you 
need to do is change lirc_i2c to lirc_serial.

Correct. Check in /usr/share/docs/lirc-*/ and I think you may find a TiVo 
remote lircd.conf, and there have been several TiVo lircrc files that have 
floated the list.
