So, I need a separate remote control device for each,

Each remote can be configured to a unique "unit code ID".
My question is how to configure the kernel module, lirc_atiusb,
in each individual MythTV system so it responds only to its own
specific remote. Have you done this? It doesn't look too hard
to do, just from reading through the source code for lirc_atiusb.c.
I'm just hoping to shorten the trial-and-error period
of experimenting with the source code for lirc_atiusb.c.
So if you have any experience with multiple ATI Remote Wonder RF
units and would be willing to share what you did, please post a reply.
options lirc_atiusb unique=1
and use version 0.7.0pre5 or above.
It works, too. My remote is configured to use remote code 1 (note that
the configuration is specified by the lircd.conf, not by the 1
above--the 1 above is a boolean indicating true), but--I now know--my
remote "defaults" to 16. So, when I dropped my remote one day and it
knocked the batteries out, my remote quit working. Of course, I didn't
try the remote after dropping it, so the next time I used the remote and
it wasn't working, I thought it was bad batteries. It was low-priority
(I had a wireless keyboard), but about 6 days later, I finally
thought--maybe the channel needs reset... :)
Unfortunately, another Myth box I maintain has a RW that defaults to
code 1, so short of maintaining two lircd.conf's, I can't make a more
fail-safe remote configuration, but now that I know, it's not a problem.
Also, if you're currently using a version earlier than 0.7.0pre5, you'll
have to create a new lircd.conf. My config from before the change
didn't work after the change--even when I set unique=0 (or left the
option out--it defaults to ignoring the channel).
