Public bug reported:

Mythbuntu 9.04 - 10.10 (all versions including 0.24-fixes)

When using Mythbuntu Control Centre to configure a DVICO USB Remote, the
lirc configurator incorrectly sets the device to /dev/lircX, whereupon
the remote fails to register in irw or mythtv, or any other application

The correct entry should read 
 REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddevX", e.g.  REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"

The full conf file follows:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
 #
 #Chosen Remote Control
 REMOTE="DViCO USB Remote"
 REMOTE_MODULES=""
 REMOTE_DRIVER="dvico"
 REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"
 REMOTE_SOCKET=""
 REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="dvico/lircd.conf.fusionHDTV"
 REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

 #Chosen IR Transmitter

 #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
 #START_LIRCMD="false"

 #Try to load appropriate kernel modules

 # Default configuration files for your hardware if any
 LIRCMD_CONF=""

 #Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
 #If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
 #that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
 #frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
 #It will then populate all other variables without any user input
 #If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
 #to leave this set to "false"
