Ok, I tried using irw, that didn't work.  No output was received.

So i tired irrecord, with no such luck:


spark@:~>irrecord --device=/dev/lircd /home/spark/Desktop/irrecord.txt
<snip>
irrecord: no data for 10 secs, aborting
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue

spark@:~>irrecord --force --device=/dev/lircd /home/spark/Desktop/irrecord.txt
<snip>
irrecord: no data for 10 secs, aborting
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue


I know that IVTV is seeing the IR device:
