The remote will work just like a keyboard. What you can do is get the DVB-TOOLS package from linuxtv.org and compile the program evdev Then you can do the following evdev /dev/input/event(x) where (x) is your event id of your device. This will give you the keypress's that the remote is sending. If the issue you are having does not occur when you do this then the problem will be with lirc. If it does occur then it could be that something is interfering with the remotes reception causing it not to interpret the button releases. I don't seem to have any problems with my DVB-T300. Is there anything near your remote receiver that could be causing interference at all? If you tail you dmesg you'll see something along the following mythbox kernel: saa7134[0]/ir: build_key gpio=0x940f00 mask=0x0 data=0 mythbox kernel: saa7134[0]/ir: build_key gpio=0x800200 mask=0x0 data=0 mythbox kernel: saa7134[0]/ir: build_key gpio=0x940200 mask=0x0 data=0 mythbox kernel: saa7134[0]/ir: build_key gpio=0x800700 mask=0x0 data=0 mythbox kernel: saa7134[0]/ir: build_key gpio=0x940700 mask=0x0 data=0 If you could give me a capture of what's happening I'll take a look. I don't have a T200 so it's hard to test and that was put in as the T200 and T300 are so similar. However if the issue is happening with a T300 then I'll be able to do some tests and see. But if you could give me the captures from dmesg and from evdev that would be great. Cheers Nick
