No.  The tuner will not affect the operation of the remote.  Do you have 
a valid ~/.mythtv/lircrc file (i.e. if it works at the OS, you have 
~/.lircrc, but myth uses a different configuration file--generally just 
creating a soft link to the file at the opposite location is the easiest 
approach).
