[mythtv-users] atrpms lircd 0.7.0pre8 appears to break PVR-350 lirc interface

[Darren Boyd]

Do a:

# lsmod | grep lirc

You should see something like this:

lirc_i2c                7172  1
lirc_dev               10636  1 lirc_i2c
i2c_core               17345  8 
bttv,lirc_i2c,msp3400,saa7127,saa7115,tuner,tveeprom,i2c_algo_bit

It is possible you are missing one of these, like lirc_i2c or lirc_dev. 
  If so, load it:

# modprobe lirc_i2c

Then restart your frontend and try again.

I did the exact same thing you did and also ended up with a 
non-functioning remote.  After some fiddling I stumbled across the fact 
that one of the above modules was not loaded.  Unfortunately, I don't 
know why it doesn't get loaded, or how to fix the problem better than 
simply loading it manually.
