<pre class="western"><blockquote type="cite"><pre class="western">That sounds like the case of the RPi is not actually earthed. If this
is going to be an ongoing problem, you might want to see if the web
can tell you how to earth your case.</pre></blockquote></pre>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">OK, thanks – did a
quick preliminary search seems to indicate either no grounding
(earthing) necessary, else to ground if necessary. (For others
reading this, NEVER to either mains nor the hot/neutral. With U.S.
three-prong plugs there is a ground prong and I would verify with
a
tester before connecting to the Pi.) There is also the possibility
of ground loops causing other problems.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">At this point I’m
also thinking the possibility of the SD card being the cause. The
original SD card was a well-respected brand, the backup card isn’t
a no-name but I have had problems with the brand and it seems
notably
slower than the original. (I will be updating the original and
using
that.)</p>

<pre class="western"><blockquote type="cite"><pre class="western">I would not declare success with just the arrow keys working, but it
is definitely a good start. It is probably better not to tweak Edit
Keys but rather to edit the $HOME/.lirc/mythtv file. That way you can
just copy that file to the other MythTV boxes. When you use Edit
Keys, you are also changing what the keyboard keystrokes are. Altering
the $HOME/.lirc/mythtv file only affects the remotes.</pre></blockquote></pre>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">OK, thanks! Does
make sense.</p>

<pre class="western">If you have problems with the TV and RPi responding to the same IR
input, try moving the RPi to one side where you can point the remote
at it and not at the TV. Preferable have the RPi in front of some
surface that will not reflect IR light well, such as curtains. Painted
walls often reflect IR quite well.</pre>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">True: this
particular remote I can do ‘trick shots’ with to control the TV:
bounce off the ceiling, over the shoulder, etc. Will see what
happens with the RPi.</p>
