As I understand things, you want to load lirc_pvr150 if you want to
use both the RX and TX functionality of the PVR-150. If you only want
to use a remote control, you should only have to load lirc_i2c.
Loading either of these modules will in turn pull in the lirc_dev
module and create the /dev/lirc and /dev/lirc0 devices. I don't think
you want both the lirc_pvr150 and lirc_i2c modules loaded at the same
time.

Ensure you have a good /etc/lircd.conf for the remote and a ~/.lircrc
config for your LIRC-enabled programs.
