This happens regardless if the machine was just started, or had been 
running all day.  As far as I can tell there's no conflict.  Even when 
the backend is running and recording I can use IRW.  I can easily browse 
around the frontend as much as I want.  But soon after I start LiveTV 
it's all over.  The IR stops responding.  I must have been delusional 
before; after it stops working I *can't* rmmod lirc_dev or lirc_imon.  
lirc_dev is in use by lirc_imon, and lirc_imon is "busy".

So, if it is just lirc_imon getting tied up, why would livetv do that?
