Thanks for the suggestions Jon. I tried unplugging the IR keyboard and mouse and tried the remote again, but no luck. The video stream is running ok. I remember when I first got the card, I ran it under the 2.6.5 kernel (my mythbox project is still under development over a year later :)). Under that kernel, you had to take the dll file off of the driver cd that came with the card. There were mulitple versions of the driver at that time. Would it be possible that certain driver versions don't work with the remote? Are there multiple versions of the tda1004x.bin or dvb-fe-tda10045.fw files?
