What kind of receiver are you using? Is the receiver
protocol-compatible with the remote control?

If you know what protocol your remote uses (i.e. RC-5 etc), are you
using the protocol header file in /etc/lircd.conf? Have you tried
running irrecord in raw mode, and if so, do you get the same results?
