Post subject:  Tivo Remote and IRA-3 Receiver

I am trying to get a tivo remote to work with MythTV and knoppmyth (version R5F27), and am having one hell of a time getting it to work. Here is the hardware I'm using

Remote: Tivo Peanut Remote
IR Reciever: Ira-3 (http://www.home-electro.com/ira3.php)

Steps I have taken so far to

1. Installed the libirman-dev libraries
Code:
apt-get install libirman-dev

2. Uninstall the lirc version that came with knoppmyth, and prepare to install lirc
Code:
apt-get update
   apt-get remove lirc
   m-a update
   m-a prepare

create the linux -> linux headers symbolic link

2. Downloaded and the latest version of lirc (lirc-0.8.2.tar.bz2)
Code:
wget http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lirc/lirc-0.8.2.tar.bz2


3. Extracted, compiled with the irman flag, and installed lirc-0.8.2
(http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=LIRCHowTo)

Code:
tar jxvf lirc-0.8.2.tar.bz2
   cd lirc-0.8.2
   ./setup.sh


I chose the default options for serial port and drivers.

added -prefix=/usr & --with-driver=irman
to the configure.sh script
Code:
sh configure.sh
   make
   make install


4. Copied lirc.conf and lircrc files from (http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv- ... 35133.html)

5. Restart the machine

and I get nothing. No repsonse from the remote. My problem is that I have no idea where in the process it is going wrong. How can I test each component to isolate the error?, or any ideas on steops I have missed that may cause the problem.

It could be the receiver, or the remote.

thanks.
myles.
