I had a similar problem. I would recomend making sure it starts as a service and then checking" irw " from a terminal session. If that gives a response when you push buttons on the remote, then check to make sure the
lircrc.txt file is in the right place. i had mine in the root users home when it should be in the mythtv users home directory. so mythtv only responded to remote control commands when i ran mythtv as root. so i jsut copied the file to the corresponding mythtv users home . try starting mythtv as root and see if your remote works. if it does then it is jsut a matter of permissions or simple copying the lircrc file to the right place.
