Sorry I haven't followed this thread too closely, but for a pvr-250, you
need to be using the latest cvs version of lirc, and when I
compiled/installed that, it created the necessary devices for me. The trick
was making sure there is nothing from the *old* version around before trying
to install/use the cvs version. Sorry if I've repeated something that's
already been discussed...

I've got a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 video capture card. Any ideas what I
would set it to for that?
