I am a newb and am setting up mythtv. i have it all just about done except for my remote. i have an ati remote wonder. lirc can be used and so by following a tutorial, i was able to make a atiremote.conf file for it. i then made the .lircrc file and do not know where to put it. when i start up lirc like:
./lircd -d /dev/lirc0 /home/mythtv/atiremote.conf

i can run irw and when i press buttons i see that they are being captured, but i have put the .lircrc file in the root, /usr/sbin/ (which is where lircd is located), in my /home/mythtv folder, in my /home/mythtv/.mythtv folder, and after i start up lirc, and enter mythtv, the remote still is sending signals, since i can check it with irw, but nothing happens in the mythfrontend

suggestions?
again, please give me the full commands or instructions, since i am still a newb thanks!

scratch that first post. here is an update:

Ok well i am a newb and trying to install lirc to use with mythtv. i have put my lircrc file in ~/.mythtv, (~/.mythtv/lircrc), and lircd.conf in etc, (/etc/lircd.conf). i then start lirc, (/sbin/service/lircd start), and i start the front end (-v), the remote doesnt work, so i exit and check for any lirc comments in the log. i get the following

MsqlQuery: Select data FROM settings WHERE value='Lirc KeyPressedApp' AND hostname=(my computers hostname)

/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc:5 ignored
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc:6 ignored

bad file format failed to read lirc config /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc:7

when i run irw i do get signals from the remote.
so i am stumped, please respond with the full commands or directions since i am a newb. any ideas?
