irw does not care about any lircrc file. I could test irw just fine before
I ever came to the lircrc file. irw only relies on the config for lircd
which is done in /etc/lirc.conf

For example in my /etc/lircd.conf there is:

                UP      0x0000000000001794
                LEFT    0x0000000000001F96
                Channel-UP      0x0000000000001FA0
                Channel-DOWN    0x00000000000017A1

It shows this fine when I run irw

However I tried to put the file in ~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc besides putting
it in ~mythtv/.lircrc and thre is some improvement.

But the way channel up/down is done is a bit odd. Up means decreasing the
channel number in the guide but increasing the channel number when
watching the liveTV.

And it is missing vital keys like UP and DOWN to navigate the menu so I
would still appreciate to see better working versions.
