Finally got around to this last night.  I changed the input for lirc and then 
ran irw.  The only buttons that work are the numbers.  I don't think the 
lircd.conf file I downloaded from the lirc site fully works with my remote.  
Do you know if hauppauge changes the output codes?

I think that I'll have to use irrecord to get it working correctly.  The 
numbers work in mythtv now, I just got to get the rest of the buttons 
working.
