[mythtv-users] 15-2116 remote with Dvico USB receiver

[Bob Shanteau]

I would like to use a Radio Shack 15-2116 remote with the USB receiver 
that came with my Dvico FusionHDTV5 Gold capture card under MythDora 
10.21 (although I doubt that the exact MythTV distribution is an issue). 
I can get MythTV to respond to the Fusion remote that came with the 
card, but then so does my TV in some strange ways.

I also have a Hauppauge HVR-1600 and I have used Jarod Wilson's files to 
get that receiver working with the 15-2116, but the signal I get from 
Comcast is marginal and the HVR-1600 can't handle it, while the Dvico 
FusionHDTV5 RT Gold does, so I am planning on getting rid of the HVR-1600.

I know that the Dvico USB receiver is seeing the 15-2116 because 'cat 
/dev/hiddev0' shows some characters every time I press a key on the RS 
remote.

What I need to know, then, is the beginning part of the lircd.conf for 
the combination of the 15-2116 remote and the Dvico USB receiver, but 
I'm afraid that I don't know what the various commands mean in that part 
of the file. It would be too much to hope for an someone to have an 
exact solution, but has anyone worked up an lircd.conf file who might be 
able to help?

Here is the relevant part of lircd.conf for the Dvico remote and USB 
receiver:
