Read (or watch or listen to) "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and
you'll soon understand :-)

I may not have seen that...

My Nova-T is the older SAA7146/TDA10045 variety.

Maybe there are three varieties...? That would appear to be consistent with
the keymap in .../ttpci/budget-ci.c, but confusion may have arisen because
other cards which can be driven by budget-ci use different remote controls
and there's only the one mapping in that module.
If anybody has any of those cards and can produce raw mapping data for their
remote controls, that would be *very* useful. PCI ID and subsystem ID would
also be useful; note that mine is 1131:7146, subsystem 13C2:1011.
My recent patch for budget-ci uses ir_codes_hauppauge_new because this
defines a superset of the available keys on the remote control which I have;
those which are present are appropriately mapped. Needless to say, I'm using
this patch :-)

Maybe I should get hold of a newer Nova-T and see if its remote control
generates signals which are accepted by my existing card... :-)

That looks the same as mine.

That's the variety which is included with current Nova-T and Nova-S-Plus
cards (according to their UK site) and, it seems likely, other cards too.
