Per your pvrusb2 usage.html page concerning hvr-1950 IR support ("if somebody 
gets this to work, contact me..."), I have hvr-1950 IR feature working without 
doing anything aside from compiling in all or most of the Linux kernel IR 
drivers/modules statically.

pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV HVR-1950 Model 751xx
usbcore: registered new interface driver pvrusb2
pvrusb2: V4L in-tree version:Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner
pvrusb2: Debug mask is 31 (0x1f)
usb 1-2.6: new full speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
pvrusb2: Binding ir_rx_z8f0811_haup to i2c address 0x71.
Registered IR keymap rc-hauppauge
input: i2c IR (WinTV HVR-1950 Model 75 as /devices/virtual/rc/rc0/input7
rc0: i2c IR (WinTV HVR-1950 Model 75 as /devices/virtual/rc/rc0
ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (WinTV HVR-1950 Model 75 detected at i2c-4/4-0071/ir0 [pvrusb2_a]
pvrusb2: Binding ir_tx_z8f0811_haup to i2c address 0x70.

>From this, I see the hvr-1950 IR device is set to input7 (ie. /dev/input/event7 here).

"cat /dev/input/event7" instantly produces output when pressing buttons on the remote.

(No app-misc/inputlircd or app-misc/lirc packages are installed yet, but I 
likely have some leftover lirc config files from previous workings with the 
older pvrusb2 devices.)

Cheers.
