[mythtv-users] lirc and fc3 newbie help

[Paul Leppert]

Gregg,

Have you tried using irrecord?  This is used to create the
/etc/lircd.conf file (Jarod provides three different versions for the
various hauppage remotes).  When I did my initial install, irw wasn't
returning anything because my lircd didn't match my remote.  This
should at least tell you that the remote is being recognized.  If so,
you can create your own lircd.conf file, put it in /etc and then retry
using irw.

Paul
