See my reply to the other reply in this thread.

Oh, and what sort of "problem" are you observing at boot time?

It should be /etc/lircd.conf. Then you'll need a file /home/<username>/.lircrc 
(or /home/<username>/.mythtv/lircrc, and/or symlink the two together) that 
maps the remote presses to functions and/or keyboard key presses to send to 
the apps you're trying to control.
