I compiled the latest stable v4l-dvb-drivers, everything worked fine, and i`m able to watch tv with kaffeine and mythtv already. Now i would like to get the remote to work .. the ir-receiver shows up during boot, giving the following ouput :

"kernel: input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input7".

If i do a lsinput, the device shows up like this :

/dev/input/event7
bustype : BUS_USB
vendor : 0x2040
product : 0x7070
version : 256
name : "IR-receiver inside an USB DVB re"
phys : "usb-0001:10:1b.2-1/ir0"
bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY

so i`m pretty sure i am not toooo far away from the solution.

Quoted 8 lines

but if i press a button on the rc, it just gives me kernel messages like this :

"kernel: dib0700: Unknown remote controller key: 1D 2 0 0"

After a bit of googling, i found out, that there seems to be a solution, using a diff file, which i downloaded already, its attached to this mail.

Now i need a bit of support in using this diff-file correctly, and some infos on how to continue then..

That patch looks pretty straightforward. Where did it come from? Have you tried it out:

cd v4l-dvb
patch -p0 < path_to_patch_file
make
make install
reboot
See if it works...

(or you might have to do "patch -p1", depending on the patch)

If it works for you, it can be checked in so others won't have to deal with the problem in the future.
