I am using an Avermedia 771 and 777, I use the 777's remote control with
the 771 card and the IR input goes into the 771 card. From memory its
the saa7134 module that supports the remote.
Did you find the input ok, when you cat the correct event you get
garbage on the screen when you press buttons on the remote. Did the
irrecord work ok?
Did you run up lirc only with "-H dev/input -d /dev/input/event3"?

I am surprised that it didn't sort your problems, I made a huge
difference with mine.
