Where did you get your lircd.conf? If you got it from an older version
of LIRC, it won't work...

After generating it, I came across another file (don't remember exactly where)
that had basically the same codes in it. But, I preferred mine because I had named the keys the way I wanted to code them in the file,
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
I'm beginning to see that changing unit code IDs is not as simple as I first thought. Besides the "hand" key setup on the remote itself, I'm thinking that
a specific lircd.conf must be created that matches that key setup. I've only done the "irrecord" step once, over 90 days ago on July 31. All I remember is that it was quite long and tedious, my notes taken then are really poor, too thin to help me remember what I did. But, doing it again sems to be the next step. This time, I'll take more detailed notes.
I'm really motivated to do this because it will allow me to build more MythTV boxes, put them in other rooms, yet still control each one separately with separate Remote Wonders.
