[mythtvnz] LIRC

[Jason Taylor]

I've done this a few times and it works well once running but its a bit
finicky to setup

You need to set an external channel changing script for the source in
mythtv-setup that executes and calls lirc_send

You can then enter dummy channels for the source that map to your external
box channels

A howto for lirc

Mythtv (mce instructions but its fairly easy to see whats going on)
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote#IR_Blasting

I'm pretty sure newer mythbuntu control panel has lirc blasting as well...
I havn't set it up in a while though

If you cant find a lirc conf file for your remote/device you can create one
using irrecord

Good luck
