Hi Tony,

Some remotes alternate between two codes for each button.  I suspect 
that if you use `irw` you'll find that only the first code is being 
recognized.  You'll have to either find a better lirc configuration file 
for your remote, or else use irrecord to find out what the secondary 
code is for each button.

That's my best guess, but I could be wrong.  Good luck!
