[mythtv] Help on changing mythsetup

[Curtis Wood]

It was in my first reply, but here it is again ;-) It's not in C++, just
straight C - I hope that isnt going to be an issue (it compiles just
fine), but it may be... Note, that in the source code the LIRC_WAIT is
set to 200000, I just had to bump it up to 300000 - something is
different in the way it changes channels from up/down to something
completely different.
