From what I can tell, the fact that when I press a number key whilst lirc is stopped it appears in the console means that the remote is being picked up by ir_common within the kernel and being interpreted as keystroke events. Assuming I'm understanding all of this correctly, is there any way that could be causing the reduced reception zone? I'm very reluctant to say that it's a faulty sensor causing this, as it all worked perfectly in Windows back in the day. The remote itself has had some rough treatment in it's time, so I'm thinking if it's hardware then it's probably that.
