You only need the LIRC stuff if you are going to actually
control the receiver through an infrared remote control
signal (which is the only way to control an external receiver
like the Sky Digibox).

If you are accessing an internal PCI card you may need to
implement some ioctl() calls or whatever that card requires
to switch channels. That code should be implemented instead
of the LIRC stuff in sky.c.

Regarding the PIDs of the Transport Stream: you just need to
figure out which PIDs it provides and use those in your
channels.conf.
