[mythtv-users] More LIRC Woes

[Scott Nicholson]

When I run mode2 (I'm logged in via ssh) I get:

This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space
layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for your
receiver.
In order to test your setup run lircd with the --nodaemon option and
then check if the remote works with the irw tool.

I then went to the box itself and tried xmode2 with the same result.

Does this mean I've got something configured wrong?
