I used Ubuntu and the instructions at the ubuntu community wiki here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_Backend_Frontend?highlight=%28mythtv%29
this includes a link to the lirc instructions. If you only want to receive you
only need the i2c module. Admittedly, the configs for the hauppauge (dogbone)
remote are poor. If you elect to go this way, I will be glad to send you my
configs as a starting point. I am not sure how the instructions above can
work without lircd.conf and .lircrc files, but maybe fedora is different. I
don't want to start controversy. My point is that if you are having problems
and are willing to start from scratch, the Ubuntu documentation worked well
for me and I am very pleased with the outcome. Good luck.
