I'm using the current pointer for 'unstable'. Since I see there are
Debian folks on here, is anyone running the debian packages, a PVR-250
and have the remote working? I can't seem to get the magic right.
Running irw from the shell shows the proper keypresses on the remote,
and I have the .lircrc copied to ~/.mythtv/lircrc . Mythfrontend
doesn't complain upon startup that it can't connect to lirc, so I'm
*assuming* (a bad thing) that it should work. Still nothing...
