[mythtv-users] IR Problem with FC4

Well, this would be specific to the remote "receiver" you are using. I'm
assuming that you are using the one that comes with the PVR-350.

What do you see when you run 'ls -l /dev/lir*' as root? You should at a
minimum have an lircd file, but you may have an lirc0 file which might be
the one to point to. Also tell me the output of running 'lircd -n' as root.
You may have to run 'service lircd stop' first. Give me those and I'll check
into some of the specific PVR-350 settings in the mean time. Lirc was a big
problem for me as it seems that the directions are extremely vague for
anyone not using the 250 and 150. Since I have a USB Uirt, I had to figure
some of it out on my own. I still need to figure out how to rebuild Myth
with lirc support built-in.
