Hi.
I've recently bought a USB PCTV 73e, and getting it to work as a normal DVB-T tuner on Ubuntu was mildly successful.
I was trying to use the remote with LIRC, but I cannot seem to be able to get any data from the builtin IR receiver.
I have looked in dmesg and /proc/bus/input/devices, both report that the IR reciever has been detected and works, but I cannot get LIRC, irrecord or even cat to read any data from the /dev/input/eventX .
Futher details about the output of /proc/bus/input/devices:
Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=2304 Product=0237 Version=0100
N: Name="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.7-8/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb5/5-8/input/input12
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event10
B: EV=3
B: KEY=14afc336 284284d00000000 0 480058000 219040000801 9e96c000000000 90020000000ffd
I am sure that somewhere in Ubuntu the remote is working, as if I press any of the number buttons, they appear as if i typed them with the keyboard, and the volume up/down buttons work as if i pressed volume up/down on the keyboard.
Please help to try and resolve this issue.
Thanks.
