[mythtv-users] LIRC and PVR 150/250 (still struggling)

To compile against your kernel source use:
./configure --with-kerneldir=DIR

Hi Scott,

I have the pvr150 with the reciever/blaster cable. I have the reciever working
but the blaster portion is giving me some trouble. Are you just having a
problem with the reciever side or are you talking about the blaster portion?
You can download the lircrc file and the lircd file for that remote from Jarods
site. Make sure you have a .lircrc in your /home/<mythuser>/.<mythuser>/ and the
same .lircrc file in your /home/<mythuser>/ directory but in the latter make it
lircrc instead of .lircrc.

Hope that helps,

Jon
