[mythtv-users] Looking for clarity on MythTV, to LIRC, or not to LIRC, ir-keytable, and key mappings

I prefer to use LIRC but having some problems as there are two remote
sensors (one is on a usb tuner card)  The rc0 uses lirc0 and in my
hardware.conf is set to REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0".
They switch about on cold reboot stopping the remote from working.  Is
there anyway to get the mce to stay against rc0?  I have tried setting both
rc0 and rc1 to use LIRC but that makes not difference.

Thanks
