[mythtv-users] Trouble w/ Hauppauge HD-PVR & IR transmitter

[Rob]

So I've been able to get video capture to work w/ my HD-PVR, but I'm unable
to issue any channel-change commands.  I'm not seeing any glaring error
messages with trying to initialize the device, but irsend can't seem to
find it....  /dev/lirc0 doesn't exist, but I'm getting the feeling that
pointing to the underlying event should resolve this glitch.

$ dmesg
