[mythtv-users] Lirc sometimes rejects keys, sometimes accepts under knoppmyth using pvr -250

[Chris Mcnally]

I've had this problem since I installed knoppmyth in order to get the 
schedules direct fix. My sister with similar hardware also has the 
issue. We both use the Hauppauge remote that came with the pvr-250.  The 
remote works, but most of the time I have to  hit a key over and over 
until it's accepted, or just hold it down.  I restored the same lirc 
files I had used on the Fedora 4 systems.

I see these errors in my syslog, but I think this is related to my 
blaster. My sister has no errors and no blaster.

syslog:Dec 26 10:33:27 mymythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: 
key=0x3f raw=0x1fff down=1
syslog:Dec 26 10:33:27 mymythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: 
key=0x3f raw=0x1fff down=0
syslog:Dec 26 10:43:28 mymythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key:

syslog:Dec 26 10:43:28 mymythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: 
key=0x3f raw=0x1fff down=0

I've searched lists but I cannot even find anything that seems worth 
trying. Since my sister's box is 250 miles away, it's hard to test and 
I'd like to try the simplest solution after testing on mine:
