==== LIRC configure ====
from my old home
<pre>
$ cp -pr .lirc .lircrc ~/.
</pre>

config files
<pre>
  273  sudo cp -pr lircd.conf lircd.conf-orig
  274  sudo cp -pr lircmd.conf lircmd.conf-orig
$ sudo cp lircd.conf lircmd.conf /etc/lirc/.
$ sudo mv lircd.conf lircd.conf.d/previous.conf
$ sudo mv lircd.conf-orig lircd.conf
$ sudo service lircd restart
</pre>

I wasn't seeing any output when I tried irw so I tried
<pre>
$ mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
Using driver devinput on device /dev/lirc0
Cannot initiate device /dev/lirc0
</pre>
maybe I need to remove the devinput conf file....
<pre>
$ cd /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/
$ sudo mv devinput.lircd.conf devinput.lircd.conf-orig
$ sudo service lircd restart
</pre>

I cleaned up my conf files and separated the two remotes
<pre>
$ sudo mv previous.conf tivo.conf
$ sudo cp tivo.conf atlas4.conf
$ sudo vi tivo.conf 
$ sudo vi atlas4.conf 
</pre>
I saw some advice at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=192891
<pre>

    and hardware_cf['modules']:

</pre>
not sure why that failed, but I looked at the change it made to lirc_options and cleaned it up
<pre>
$ sudo vi lirc_options.conf
$ diff lirc_options.conf.dist lirc_options.conf
11c11
< driver          = devinput
---
> driver          = default

$ sudo service lircd restart

$ mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
Using driver default on device /dev/lirc0
Cannot initiate device /dev/lirc0
</pre>
I cleaned up a couple of files that didn't really change
<pre>
$ sudo cp -pr irexec.lircrc.dist irexec.lircrc
$ sudo cp -pr lircmd.conf.dist lircmd.conf
</pre>
Tried irw again, but this time I used modprobe, too
<pre>
$ modprobe mceusb
$ sudo service lircd restart
$ mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
Using driver default on device /dev/lirc0
Cannot initiate device /dev/lirc0
$ irw
00000000a10c6807 00 DOWN Tivo_S2
00000000a10c2807 00 UP Tivo_S2
</pre>
I'll reboot and test it again...
After a reboot, running irw and pressing buttons on the remote shows the expected output. yay!

=== sudo apt-get install make gcc autoconf automake ===
needed for HDHOMERUN software
<pre>
$ sudo apt-get install make gcc autoconf automake
$ sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config
</pre>

=== HDHOMERUN software ===
see 
* https://www.silicondust.com/support/linux/
* https://gist.github.com/nicholashagen/5306330

<pre>
$ cd ~/hdhomerun/
$ wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20180817.tgz
$ wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_config_gui_20180817.tgz
$ tar xzf hdhomerun_config_gui_20180817.tgz 
$ tar xzf libhdhomerun_20180817.tgz 
</pre>

I tried 
<pre>
$ cd hdhomerun_config_gui/
$ ./configure
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
</pre>

so then
<pre>
$ cd hdhomerun_config_gui/
$ make
$ sudo make install
(ignoring request to make install)
$ which hdhomerun_config 
/usr/bin/hdhomerun_config
$ ls -Ftl /usr/bin/hdhomerun_config 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75848 Aug 21 20:39 /usr/bin/hdhomerun_config*
</pre>

not sure why my build didn't install, however, the date on the existing one looks like it is the current version.
