Thank's for your quick feedback. I guess I have to try some RC5 remotes. Hope I can find one...

The thing is I have Hauppauge's DVB-S Rev. 2.1. There is a small external IR receiver and my remote worked with LIRC fine. Then, I've got that CI interface a few weeks ago with another 
built-in IR receiver. I was pretty curious which one would listen to my remote. Apparently the one from CI interface disables the other from DVB-S card which is fine for me, Fortunately, either 
way LIRC is working for me. :)
