Thanks for taking the time to check this site out. We are attempting to compile a series of useful guides and information related to the use of LIRC with MythTV. Currently, much of the content is related to setting up an IR Blaster to control an external cable/satellite box (or even several of them). The information is the product of our own experiences in using LIRC and MythTV, and hopefully these guides can save you some of the headaches that we experienced in our respective setups.

  • Using one instance of LIRC to control a digital cable/satellite box with an IR Blaster
  • Controlling multiple devices with only one serial connector
  • Troubleshooting
  • FAQ
  • Other Resources

    Things we still need:

    1) Steps on configuring lirc on Distro's other than Fedora Core 3
    2) Steps for installing source code for FC3, in case someone REALLY wants or needs to compile.
    3) Steps for compiling lirc and it's various options.
    4) Any info on changing remote codes for devices other than DishNetwork boxes.
    5) Let us know if there are other how-to's you would like to see or you have created.
    6) Feedback! Tell us your sucesses and/or failures on whether this site helped you.

    If you have any of this info, or want to create it. Send it to Andy or Pete and we'll post it.
