[mythtv-users] Re: lirc woes: gray haupauge remote

[James Colannino]

Not sure what release it is.  I'll check that soon.  I downloaded it 
just three or 4 days ago though.  It's not an upgrade either.  This is a 
clean install.  I'll try uninstalling it and then reinstalling with the 
newer package.
