[mythtv-users] DVB-T USB dual-tuners in Mythtv?

[Ma Begaj]

you should use udev for that:
- load lirc module
- check for some of udev variables (idVendor) and make an udev rule

you can find an example in the mythtv wiki info on how to do it for
the an other remote, but the way is the same:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Volume_Knob_on_Antec_Fusion#Edit_udev_rules

and just put the right value in lircd starting command, for example like this:
lircd --device=/dev/lirc_remote
