Man, you guys are great. It's still not working, but your help is
greatly appreciated.
Pete - Regarding ivtv, I am able to capture/record TV with the
PVR-250. I'm not sure if that helps or not.
I tried "chmod 644 /dev/lirc" and "chmod 666 /dev/lirc" as Pete and
Nate S. suggested, but I still get "connect: Connection refused" when
I try to run irw. The "-w" switch on the lspci command appears to be
invalid on my system so here's the output of lspci -v:
