Great for commercials. When in mthtv menus the purple arrows work as well. The green windows start key works as enter. None of the other keys seem to work though.

.. having fiddled around (quite successful) with my cinergyT2's remote
which also registers itself within the linux input layer, I'm
currently wondering, why you are specifying "--driver=dvico"
(==> hidddev) and not "--driver=dev/input".
The later (dev/input) worked for me at least after enabling "input device events"
(INPUT_EVDEV=y) in the kernel. (Do you have a device node for your remote,
i. e. /dev/input/eventX, or just the /sys/class/input/... entries?)
Furthermore it seems to be a good idea to add a "udev" rule
that creates a symlink for the "event device" of your remote.
Otherwise un-plugging and re-plugging might (I think it will)
give you a different (incremented) device number.
This is what I've used for my (cinergyT2) remote:
--- snip -------------- ...
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{name}=="TerraTec*", ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="terratec/cinergyT2_RC"
--- snip -------------- ...
"irrecord" (and lircd) will now always find the device at a well known place, e. g.
irrecord --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/terratec/cinergyT2_RC ...
lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/terratec/cinergyT2_RC ...
-- Axel
