In mythtv 0.19 the /home/[user]/.mythtv/.lircrc file is actually 
/home/[user]/.mythtv/lircrc (no dot at the start of the filename)... has 
it changed in 0.2?

frontend, how do you do the lircrc file?

If all of the remote controls specified map to the same LIRC button name 
in lircd.conf
(i.e. There is a PLAY button defined remote #1, #2, and #3, and you want 
them to all
 do the same thing when PLAY is pushed on any of them), then you do 
nothing, as lirc
defaults to accepting the same button name from any remote.

If you want different remotes specified explicitly, duplicate the lircrc 
file stanzas,
so you'd have 3 different stanzas all with different 
"remote=" lines to specify the remote control's name.  You can find out 
the remote control
names by looking in your lircd.conf file or run irw and press remote 
control buttons.  Note
you have to put "remote=" before the "button=" line.
