[mythtv-users] frontend unresponsive to lirc remote

[Zach C]

I think I figured out my problem. I think it is due to interference from IR
given off by my plasma screen. I bought the new tv right around the time I
upgraded MythTV.

I put some masking tape over the streamzap IR receiver. It took two layers
for me.

Here's an article that tipped me off.

I've read that there are LCDs that cause similar problems.
