 This happened a while ago so forgive me that I can't remember exactly what
 was upgraded at that time.  I was using Mythbuntu 8.04.

 The short description of the actual problem is that I'm running a
 Hauppauge Nova T-500 with IR remote.  Some of the buttons on that remote
 have stopped working in MythTV.  Buttons such as the hot keys (Home, TV,
 Videos, Music, Pictures etc.) and also keys such as skip forwards and
 backwards (fast forward and rewind are ok).  Other keys such as up, down,
 left, right, OK and the number keys are working correctly.

 The strange thing is that IRW reports the correct information when I press
 all the keys so I know that the remote is working and that LIRC is
 receiving the signals ok.

 MythTV doesn't respond that the "malfunctioning" keys have been pressed at
 all.  If I try to remap them, it doesn't recognise a key press.

 If I press the same mapped key combination on a keyboard (e.g. ALT+T)
 MythTV responds as expected.  It's just the remote signal it ignores.

 Recently I upgraded to 9.04 but this is still faulty.
 ----

 The number on the remote is A415 OH/S 1-4

 I have attached lircd.conf and I have confirmed that the expected numbers
 tie exactly to those reported by IRW.

 I have also attached lircrc.

 I only put this link in just in case I forget to add some information.
 This was the original post I put up on the myth tv forum.  (It may give
 some more background?)

 Then later onto the MythBuntu forum as it was still unresolved (but says
 little extra):
