[mythtv-users] lircd setup with hdhomerun kludge

Everything works but I am still not happy killing lircd before starting it
myself.

1) I am surprised that entering the correct UDP ports in frontend setup
didn't work.

2) Assuming I still need to use rc.local, which I have no problem with as
it works, I want to disable whatever else is starting lircd.  Perhaps it is
this file:

Would /etc/lirc/hardward.conf be the file to edit?

#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"
