[mythtv-users] IR Blaster: lirc_sir on Fedora Core w/ATrpms

[laity at nb.sympatico.ca]

Yeah, it's a real pain. You have to run the lirc setup to get the serial 
port driver for the ir blaster and there is no way to do that using 
Axels ATrpms. (at least as far as I know).  Without a doubt lirc and 
changing channels is the toughest row to hoe. There's gotta be an 
easier way for us appliance operaters, short of switching from 
mythtv of course.  Other than that major pain, Jarod's guide worked 
to perfection for me.  Thanks Jarod! and the developers of course.
