[mythtv-users] Just not getting ir-keytables?

[Tom Dexter]

I'm experimenting with an MCE USB receiver and my existing TIVO34
remote. I've gotten to where I know the correct device and protocol
(NEC seems to be working).

I've gotten as far as mapping a few key codes to the values I've
received using ir-keytable -t and have added a few to a file as:

0x3085c031    KEY_0
0x3085d026    KEY_1
0x3085d02a    KEY_2

...and as per stuff I've read:

ir-keytable -w /home/tom/tivo_rc -d /dev/input/event2

Which says it wrote 3 key codes to the driver.

Maybe I'm just really stupid...but now what? How do I actually use it?
My understanding is that ends up emulating a keyboard but how? Is
there some other iteration of the ir-keytable command that facilitates
that?

Silly, but I am just not getting this at all.
