[mythtv-users] PVR-250 remote with home built reciever

[Larry Matter]

It works with a homebrew IR, I'm using it that way now.  As you said, it
uses rc-5 which means you need a special lircd.conf file.  Go here:

http://www.lirc.org/faq.html

Look at item #3 under software setup section.  I can also send you my
lircd.conf file if you like (when I get home).
