Nope; that's what it showed in System Monitor.

Looks like that was pulling in from hardware.conf - I can't recall if I 
put that there and, if so, why...

OK, making progress! I've changed hardware.conf to this:

TRANSMITTER="hauppauge_pvr"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_zilog"
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER="default"
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""


#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="hauppauge_pvr"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_zilog"
REMOTE_DRIVER="default"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

Now I get this new error:

$ sudo irsend SEND_ONCE hauppauge_pvr CH+
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE hauppauge_pvr CH+
irsend: transmission failed

Syslog shows:

accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
write failed
Protocol error
error processing command: SEND_ONCE hauppauge_pvr CH+
transmission failed

We seem to be heading in the right direction, because now it seems my 
system recognizes there's a blaster and acknowledges that it has 
transmitting capability.
