Hi Luca,
I _love_ the sound of that. Hopefully the AF9015 I've got does the same thing, because that would be ideal for me.

Looking at the documentation it seems it isn't the case: the af9015 does the decoding internally. I may be wrong, though, since I just skimmed through the documentation.

Yeah, now that I look you're right. The AF9015 does decoding, but you do have some flexibility in that the chip supports RC6 and NEC protocols and you can give the chip your own decoding table to set the key code that the chip sends for each button, hence you can use the dongle as a normal keyboard and make up a table that sets the keys you want.....I'll have to look into it further if I find a remote I like that runs on either of those protocols (ie any universal remote that has decent key layout).

Either way, Luca I think you should definitely keep your module as a generic lirc input driver, and possibly submit it for inclusion  in lirc as opposed to inclusion into dvb. Just make a note of it in a text file on the chip that can live in the Documentation directory.
