[mythtv-users] Install tips for RH9 and PVR250 owners for Myth

[Ken VanDine]

I have the same setup and it almost all works.  I am having trouble with 
lirc.  The problems seems to be that lirc requires the bttv module be loaded 
for (hardware detection i think).  The bttv module won't load because I 
don't have the hardware for it installed... I only of the PVR-250 installed.  
I am using the latest cvs of lirc.  lircd crashes with this error when I run 
irw:
