Hi Matthew Thanks for the help - it worked!
For the record: I'm now using latest version of lirc (version 0.7.1 with built-in support for the DVICO remote - no patches required) and I downloaded Chris Pascoe's lircrc file (http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/mythtv-lircrc) and copied it to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc (as you suggested). Jani's lircrc is configured for irxevent so this doesn't work. Now all I need to do is sort out some channel setup issues and I'm away! Thanks again for the help.
