   When I was configuring my Nova-T500 HD I couldn't use /dev/irremote. Instead
I have to use the input by path specifier so for my setup this is :-

REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-path/pci-3-1--event-ir"

This will vary depending on what pci slot you have the card plugged into. So you
need to do a little rummaging in /dev/input/by-path to see where it is.
