Thank you, Michael !
I thought for sure that I would have to maintain different versions of the source code. Guess I better re-read lirc_atiusb.c A LOT more closely.
I'm using lirc-0.7.2, and I will go back into the package and read through it until I learn everything I need to know.
You have saved me so much time, I can't thank you enough. Knowing that I can match each separate remote to its specific MythTV system using just settings in the control files, takes a big load off my mind.
MythTV and LIRC - what a combination !

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).
Thank you, Michael !
