My .lircrc is sym-linked to ~mythtv/lircrc so they are the same file.   The 
file is the default I got from Jarrod's site:

# MythTV native LIRC config file for
# the new grey Hauppauge remote
#
# Modified from Jarod Wilson's which came from Jeff Campbell's
# By Brad Templeton

I've not changed it.  The Up/Down/Left/Right buttons seem to be mapped to 
Up/Down/Left/Right, etc.  ChanUp/ChanDn are mapped to Up/Down, etc.  The 
point is that MythTV coredumps when they are pressed and either exits back 
to the shell or back to the main menu.

No, I'm outputing from my DirecTV box via coax to the tuner.  The DirecTV 
box only outputs on one channel (either 3 or 4, in my case 3).  Changing 
the tuner to another channel would result in static.  I don't have "basic 
cable".

Same here, eventually I'll get my system moved over to S-Video for in, but 
now I don't have enough S-Video cable to make the run, so I'm using the 
coax to feed for now, but I still have to tune the Sat-Box using an IR blaster.
