Hi there, 

i have brought a hauppauge nova-t dvb-t usb stick. Working fine. After
compiling the latest v4l-dvb, actually the remote control is working,
too.

Now i want start lircd and irexec daemon on plug-in the usb stick and
stop these daemons on plug-out. I think i can do this with udev?

Is there any way to fixing the input device? Seems like it changing from
time to time. 

input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input8

Or read the actual input device on usb plug-in to start lircd with the
correct parameters? (i.e. -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event8")

I've searching around, but it would be fine, to get some help or
directions.

Thanks
Dirk
