I can see the tuners and get TV. No audio yet.

How do I link lirc to mythtv? The lirc utility configures for my 
streamzap and recognizes the key presses. I then say update. However, 
the update does not appear to be persistent. The next time I go to 
Remote control properties, it shows that none of my changes have 
remained... :(
