I have the Hauppauge HVR-1600 card with the grey remote (A415-HPG-A) and
have also been trying to get it working, without any success so far. I
have a mythbuntu 9.10.

$ uname -r
2.6.31-19-generic

After reading this posting, I updated the cx18 drivers (using Jeremy
Yoder's post #5). Checking dmesg output looks like the tuner is
functional except for the remote. Able to see live video in myth also.

However there is no /dev/lircd0 created, buttons do not get recognized
in irw. Since others have gotten it to work earlier, Iam guessing it is
something wrong in my setup.

I installed lirc using apt-get, not by compiling from source. 
$ sudo apt-get install lirc mythbuntu-lirc-generator lirc-x

Is this ok or do I need to compile and install lirc from source?

My dmesg for lirc
$ dmesg | grep lir
[   23.347623] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 

I don't know if my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf has any issues as I pieced it
from reading several postings online.

$ cat /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
REMOTE="Hauppauge TV card"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""

LOAD_MODULES="true"
LIRCMD_CONF="/usr/share/lirc/extras/more_remotes/hauppauge/lircmd.conf.hauppauge"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

I checked the logs for any known issues in v4l-db mercurial drivers, don't see any issues for 2.6.31* kernel.

I don't have a working hardware.conf to verify against, hoping I have
something wrong in that and someone can point it to me. appreciate if
someone can post their working hardware.conf.

Please help!

Hauppauge HVR-1600 Remote Not Detected

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

Running Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 64-bit.

LIRC will not find the Hauppauage HVR-1600 remote.  The same procedure below was performed on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and the remote just worked:

sudo apt-get install lirc

After the install, it will configure.  I choose Hauppauge TV Card and I do not use an IR Transmitter.

Using irw, it would show that the commands were found.

/dev/lirc0 is not even created.  It seems that the previously used module (lirc_i2c) no longer is finding the card as it did previously.
