We have the same TV card. I am already using lirc and xawtv but I use it under RH 7.2 with a custom built 2.4.18 kernel. I had to download the orignal sources and compile my own kernel because the lirc package relied on the orginal sources and it will not compile without it. I think it uses i2c if I remember correctly.
