[mythtvnz] MCEUSB IR Blaster problem after upgrade to Mythbuntu 11.04 and Kernel

[tim Lockyer]

Thanks for the suggestions. Nothing seemed to work. I then installed 10.10
exactly the same problem irsend LIST shows Sky and mceusb. Do I have to go
back to 10.04? Plus I now have an error saying that the database I restored
has a newer TV schema than expected.
