[mythtv-users] USB IR Receiver

[Vladimir Shved]

You don't need any LIRC modules, lirc_serial is for com port IR devices, you
need kernel driver module(forgot its name) for USB UIRT and actual LIRC
daemon(lircd) needs to start on startup(need script in /etc/init.d and link
to it like from /etc/rc2.d etc.). Actual LIRC must have USB UIRT support,
you need to build LIRC from sources, I'm not sure if there are any binaries
exists that support USB UIRT. When building from sources, either you need
patch or get latest CVS sources. I did not try CVS but I've read somewhere
that USB UIRT made to CVS, so it has to be supported. Check USB UIRT support
forums, LIRC mail list for more info.
