[mythtv-users] Foxtel Digital and IR (IT LIVES!)

[Daniel Parnell]

G'day Mark,

	here is the contents of the lirc.conf file.  I've only done the codes 
for the number keys as that is all I need to get myth to change 
channels (and I'm too lazy to do the rest of the codes).

	As for my setup: I'm using a PVR-350.  I've got a set of splitters 
attached to the foxtel video out, and one set goes to the TV, while the 
other goes to the PVR-350 on the myth box.

Daniel
