 If it's the same one as included with the new Nova-T then yes, I've got
 it working.  I'm currently using lircd to handle the remote although I may 
look
 at getting Myth to work without lircd later.
 
 I patched the cx88-input.c file and setup lircd as described here:-

I've already tried that and it didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong. The 
remote model (found on a sticker in the battery compartment) is A415-HPG - is 
that the same as yours?

Yup, that's the same one!

Have you tried irrecord after making the driver mods and see if it
picks up activity on /dev/input/event2 (in my case) ?

I have just got it working!!

I tried 2 video4linux snapshots but they wouldn't compile. I think that's what 
made me think I had tried it already with an older snapshot which worked - it 
was getting all a bit confusing!

Anyway, I copied the cx88-input.c over the one in the kernel source tree and 
recompiled. Then I copied the lircd.conf, started lircd (as it says).

The problem was with this line:

 copy the lircd file to ~/.mythtv/lircd

I had been running mythfrontend on login - when I ran from a bash shell I got 
could not open /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc in the output. The doc says the 
wrong filename. Renamed the file to lircrc and bingo!

Thanks for your quick responses. I got there and I'm happy :-D

Ah, yes - I remember that typo now!

Well done on getting it working.
