I am running Debian Wheezy and mythtv-backend 0.25. The lirc_zilog kernel module from media_build (git://linuxtv.org/media_build) does the blasting and the hdpvr module gives me the /dev/video0 device file. When I modprobe the lirc_zilog i had to pass a kernel parameter tx_only=1. This disabled the IR reciever on the HD PVR but allowed the transmit to still work. When you complile media_build be sure and do a make stagingconfig before you do a make and make install. Otherwise lirc_zilog wont get made.
With all of that in place you should be able to irsend from a shell. If that works then you can make a channel change shell script. When defining the settings in myth you can give an external channel change command. Use the shell script that you developed. I can provide more details if needed once I get home.
I don't need it for channel changing, basically want to capture power on /off and volume up down from the remote and transmit the appropriate code to the amp and tv.
