Comment 3 for bug 454371

I opted to re-insert the old Hauppauge PVR-150 card into the computer one PCI slot above the Hauppauage HVR-1600.

I then put the transmitter/IR cable into the IR port on the PVR-150 and then turned the PC on.

After doing so, Ubuntu/LIRC found the PVR-150 remote was attached and the remote is now working. However, the question is - why are both the HVR-1600 and the WinTV-Go Plus IR/Transmitters no longer being detected or working?

Log of dmesg | grep "lirc" after putting in the PVR-150:

[ 13.477963] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 13.824620] lirc_i2c: chip 0x10020 found @ 0x71 (Hauppauge PVR150)
[ 13.824623] lirc_dev: lirc_register_driver: sample_rate: 10

This is not really a workaround for those who do not have a PVR-150. At least I have my main HTPC box up and going with the remote again, unfortunately with an extra tuner card I didn't want to put back in. And, then the HTPC box in the master bedroom no longer works with the remote - this is the one with the Hauppauge WinTV-Go Plus card in it.
