RC-6 remotes on dib0700 (Nova-T-500) and cx88 (HVR-3000)
Hi,
Has anyone managed to get a remote using the Philips RC-6 protocol working
with either the cx88 driver, or the dib0070 driver?
The HVR-3000 (cx88) only works with the standard Hauppauge remote (RC-5
protocol) and ignores everything else, though the hardware seems to be capable of decoding more than that (insofar as it's just an IR sensor wired to a GPIO).
The Nova-T-500 appears to support three protocols -- RC-5, RC-6 and NEC. If
I change the module parameters, I can get the RC-5 remote to work, but if I change the protocol to RC-6, neither the RC-6 remote nor the Hauppauge remote will work -- as in, there's nothing in /dev/input/event# (where # = 2 for the HVR, 3 for the T-500).
The remotes I'm using for testing are a Sky Navigator keyboard remote and a
Hauppauge new-style "silver-and-grey snowboard" remote. The lircrc file for the Navigator is here: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/sky/NAVIGATOR
Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to get an RC-6 type remote working
with either a CX88 or DiBCom based DVB card? Is there some hardware or driver limit that prevents this happening?
Obviously I've got no problem with building a custom remote receiver for
the HTPC, but I'd rather use the existing receivers if at all possible ("work smarter not harder" and all that).
Thanks.

Hi, regarding dib0700, I don't have any rc-6 remote to test if it works but afaict at the moment there is no particular support for rc6 remotes within the dib0700 driver (I wrote the patch to support nec remotes, before only rc5 were supported).
At the moment if you set rc6 protocol the device is set correctly to that protocol and keypresses are processed as rc5 ones so you should at least get some "unknown key" message in the kernel log. If not, there is a good chance that the device is not really able to process rc6 events since nothing is being set in the keypress register.
Note that I'm just supposing, I cannot say nothing certain without a remote to make some test.
Cheers
Filippo
