[pvrusb2] IR doesn't work

Hello,

I have a problem with my remote control in my PVR (Wintv-PVR-USB2). I
have installed the Debian packages (my SO is Debian Linux 4.0) as it is
described in
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/LIRC_on_Debian_Etch , but it didn't
work finally. My model is  24029 LF Rev E189 Multi-PAL.

The problem is that when I try irw, or mode2, or cat /dev/lirc/0,
nothing is detected. I press several buttons on the remote control, but
the mode2 command returns nothing. How can I solve this? I send you some
information I think it is useful:

    When I execute  lircd -d /dev/lirc/0 and mode2 -d /dev/lirc/0, then
I press buttons on my remote, and it prints nothing in the console. Can
you help me?

Thanks.
