Actually I did both (with =m) to the .config file  That should work
right?  I *did not* run stagingconfig
ghormann at tvServer:~/mythtv_source/hd-pvr-driver/v4l-dvb-backport/media_build/v4l$
grep SERIAL .config
CONFIG_LIRC_SERIAL_TRANSMITTER=m
CONFIG_LIRC_SERIAL=m

I'm running a test right now with options lirc_zilog tx_only=1 as
David suggested.  No problems after 4 shows being required (even
switching between resolutions).  That is the most stable hd-pvr has
ever been as a transmission device.  I also just started playing with
an MCE Remote. Hopefully I can get that stable too.  (Right now, it
seems to be configured as a keyboard by some other module, instead of
via LIRC.  Time for more google searches!)

Thanks again for all the assistance!

Greg.
