[pvrusb2] IR Question?

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Miephos, I don't know lirc, but normally remote
controls send pulses. To me your error message seems
an indication that either the bits in a pulse train
that represents a command cannot be distinguished, or
that the separation between two commands cannot be
detected (most remotes have keys that autorepeat when
kept pressed).

You might also want to check this:

Good luck, Frans.
