All is working well except for PVR350 remote (I have a 150 in the system as well no remote input).  I have seen where ivtv has move to the kernel and lirc_zilog is now going to be the standard.  Don't have an IR Blaster just a receiver.

"it" still comes up? lsmod shows you have lirc_zilog loaded. Doesn't
matter though, its not bound to anything.

Looks sane.

Also looks sane.

Yes, you need to set LIRC_DEVICE to /dev/input/eventX that matches the
device created by ir-kbd-i2c (cat /proc/bus/input/devices to see which
one it has -- look at the H: Handlers= line).

And you also need the devinput lircd.conf, not the Hauppauge one. You'll
be mapping input layer scancodes now, not rc5 IR signals.
