[ivtv-users] recent work with HVR-1600 irblaster?

[James Grossmann]

I see some really old work with the lirc_zilog / lirc_pvr150 drivers,
http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24 is especially nice,
however, the kernel options are fairly limited.  Is there anything
newer available?  I have been using the v4l-dvb drivers in order to
have the best possible digital cable (qam256), however, they don't
seem to compile anymore against the 2.6.31 kernel that Ubuntu Karmic
ships with.  Therefore I have been using the generic 2.6.33 kernels
available.  Recently, I moved to Dish Network, and I need a irblaster
to control the receiver, so I'm looking for modern options for that.
I suppose I don't need those modules any more, but I'd really prefer
not to go back.    Thanks
James
