[mythtv-users] Vampire LIRC????

[Yan Seiner]

My lirc only works in daytime....  No kidding....

Read on for this bizarre, but true, happening...

I've been using lirc happily for a number of years.  Recently (last 
week) I got a shiny new Sharp 37" LCD TV, and hooked it up to my mythtv box.

Everything works fine (except for some unrelated failures) but the 
remote only works during daylight.  In the morning, before sunup, no 
remote.  During the day, no problem.  At night, after sundown, no remote.

I've not done a scientific study of exactly when it fails, but the 
day/night (or rather, light/dark) effect is clear.

Since all worked fine at all hours *before* the Sharp TV arrived, and 
now it exhibits this rather bizarre behavior, somehow the TV is messing 
with LIRC, but only after dark.....

Has anyone seen this before?

(Yes, this affects both the remotes I have.  I have changed the 
batteries.  I have not tried other LIRC receivers; I may bring the one 
in from work....)
