Fun with lirc and streamzap...

lirc is one program that I really have no idea why they even bother 
including as a binary package. It essentially
never has the right modules included and thus ends up really providing 
no value at all. I suppose it is
some sort of dependency of other items..

In any case, you almost certainly need to recompile it from source and 
configure with the appropriate device.

I ended up doing mine from a tar and installing in /usr/local rather 
than rebuild via source RPM. It is fairly easy
and certainly works with the streamzap remote.

I am using Centos 5 for my mythtv setup mostly because who whats the 
non-hassle
of a pre-configured working out of the box setup :)
