I actually got it to work BUT... it only accuratly receives IR codes for a few days
and then I get nothing. Reloading the modules doesn't bring IR function back to life.
I have to reboot to get IR function back, quite annoying.

Anyone else seen this behavior?

Thanks

Rob

I'm pretty sure I had your exact problem at one point...  at least I'm
sure I had the exact same symptoms.  I just can't remember how I fixed
it.

What bothers me is that your dmesg seems to indicate that the IR device
was correctly identified.

I also have the IR Receiver/Blaster on my 150, and one thing that I
noticed is that you have to be very careful to make sure the device is
actually pushed in all the way.  At first I thought it was all the way
in, but then I discovered that it was only half way.  (Like when you
have a stereo jack and you only put it half way in and only get one
channel).  You have to make sure that the cut-out on the gray plastic 
bit is facing up, otherwise you won't have enough clearance to get the
connector all the way in...  And I found you have to shove it in pretty
hard.  If it's not too much trouble, you might want to take the card out
and put the IR piece on it while you can get a good look and see that
you're putting it in all the way.

The other thing is...  make sure you don't limit yourself to just using
irw to do your check.  If you cat the device, and it's the correct
device, you should see some strange characters output to the screen. 
This will at least help you determine whether it's a hardware/driver
issue or a config issue.

I'm still having problems getting the remote to work with my pvr150.
Using ivtv 0.3.2-z
Card is :
tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 26059, rev = C155, serial# = 7582954
tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1216ME MK3 (idx = 55, type = 38)
tveeprom: tuner fmt = PAL(B/G) PAL(I) SECAM(L/L) PAL(D/K) (eeprom = 
0x74, v4l2 = 0x00400e17)
tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3410D (type = 5)
ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom[50],ok]

Using the latest lirc snapshot and the lirc_i2c module. Modprobing 
lirc_i2c gives me :
lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x71 (Hauppauge IR (PVR150))
ivtv: i2c attach [client=Hauppauge IR (PVR150),ok]
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10

using the lircd.conf posted for the new Hauppauge grey remote.

After starting lircd  I start irw but I don't see any keypresses being 
received.

I replaced the PVR150 with a PVR350 in the same machine, same ivtv 
driver, same lirc version, same lirc_i2c module and it does work, with 
irw and in mythtv.

Beginning to think there might be a problem with lirc and this specific 
pvr150 card?!. Maybe a different address for the ir connector???

The ir receiver that came with the PVR150 is one of those that also has 
an ir transmitter. I tried using that with the PVR350 and it didn't work 
either. But it probably isn't compatible anyway since the PVR150 ir 
conector has 4 rings while the one that came with the 350 only has 3 
(350 is ir receiver only, 150 is also transmitter).

Anyone with ideas what to try next? Anyone got the remote to work with 
this specific card?

Steven
