[mythtv-users] Schedule recordings with STB

[DanM]

Yes, you can use lirc to send ir signals.  MythTV is setup to allow you 
to use a channel change script to change channels.  look at 
contrib/myth.change-channel.lirc.pl (?)  If you build the ir transmitter 
circuit, use the "simple" one, not the "improved" one.
