    TechniSat Skystar 2 Serial IR Remote Issues.

    Ok, to start with I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this in, If not direct me please. Also I know this isnt Ubuntu but you guys are awesome

    I am using a TechniSat Skystar 2 remote and I am trying to install it on knoppmyth. I am trying to follow this guide:

    http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv//?page_id=55

    But as soon as I get too:

    irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 TTS35AI

    I get this following error:

    irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check your permissions)

    I have tryed everything but can NOT work out how to close lircd (if thats even the problem)

    Any help would be awesome as to why I am getting that error.

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Normally you would need to be a root user

    try

    Code:
    sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 TTS35AI
