The physical remote being broken? No possible way. I have two of those
which both work flawlessly with lirc_serial in the 4.9.34 kernel and
I've been testing with both.

When you say the config file, if you mean the remote config, I
attached the generated one to the email thread on the lirc mailing
list, plus a link to the default phillips TIVO34 config that works
with lirc_serial.

The data coming from serial_ir clearly must be very different from the
data that comes from lirc_serial. It's possible that is somehow
specific to the format coming from the TIVO remote. As I pointed out
when I attached that irrecord generated config, it's getting picked up
as 32 bit instead of 16 with irrecord an serial_ir.
