Please try this, i my case this works. Your file in /etc/lirc works fine - you CAN run irw and irrecord.
I think the error is in the control file of the frontend "lircrc" in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/

1) make a backup of your file "lircrc" in
[code]cd /home/mythtv/.mythtv/
cp lircrc lircrc.backup[/code]

2) copy the file "lircrc" from this directory
/usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/hauppauge/etc/lircrc
like
[code]cp /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/hauppauge/etc/lircrc /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc[/code]

3) edit the file "lircrc" with the nano editor to change the key names to you ir-hardware

4) restart the frontend and try to change the TV-Channels

The remote control file of the rca-6n1 for Mythtv R5E50 have the wrong file format in the source of remote controls /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/rca-6n1/etc !

This is the FIX for ALL users of rca-6n1 remote control on com1-port with R5E50.

This is a simple way to fix the problem with DOS-format of the
rca-6n1 lircrc file is to use the dos2unix command

1) change the user to mythtv



2) go to the /home/mythtv/.mythtv/ directory


3) test the file lircrc with the nano-editor
look at the bottom line "Read 440 lines (Converted from DOS format)
Make no change and exit the edit with CLTR X

4) use the dos to unix command dos2unix to convert the wrong NOT working dos-format into the right unix-format



This command make a backup file of your original lircrc with the name lircrc.bak and convert your file to unix-format.

5) test the file with nano-editor
look at the bootom line "Read 440 lines" - no more info of DOS-format

6) check the file listing with ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 4788 Feb 4 11:53 lircrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 5228 Feb 4 11:48 lircrc.bak


7) restart your frontend
