Please use the NEWSTRUCT branch. Remote controls use now the /dev/input 
event architecture, that's the more general approach. It's much easier 
to implement, needs less code and no kernel patches or additional daemons.

Input drivers for the new architecture are pretty easy to implement, 
take a look into the evtest.c source, you need only about 20 lines of 
code to actually parse the keycodes.

(the new firmware supports now not only the RC5 protocol but also RCMM 
and runtime-configurable inversion settings, so you get more features 
using less code;)

Please read DVB/apps/av7110_loadkeys/README in for more informations on 
how to set up the remote control interface. Feel free to ask if you have 
questions,

- Holger
