Thanks.  I had to reboot afterwards to recover correct operation from
irw, but now the debug messages are gone.

I'm not having much luck with the channel changer script though.

I went into mythtv-setup and under input connections, I changed the
channel change command line to /home/mythtv/dish-change-channel-lirc.sh
which I copied over from the mythtv-0_22-docs/contrib directory

I changed the device name to DEVICE="-d /dev/lirc0", and changed the
remote name to REMOTE_NAME=mceusb (since this is the name of the remote
which shows up when I press the handheld remote with irw running.

I left the starting channel number blank, but when I try to watch TV, it
fails to start.  If I change the channel change command line back
to /bin/true, watch TV works fine.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
