Tevion/KWorld DVB-T 220RF Remote Control not listed in LIRC configuration

[mike]

Binary package hint: lirc

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.
The Remote control of the TV card "Tevion/KWorld DVB-T 220RF" is not listed in the LIRC config tool.

When I do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc" the config tool shows a list of remotes but the "Tevion/KWorld DVB-T 220" remote is not listed.

This is the dmesg about the card:

This bug is old. Furhermore, lirc cannot accept bugs for each each and every remote.not supported - lirc is designed to be able to cope woih unknown remotes, but it requires user intervention.

If you are still intteresteed in this see the documentaion at http://lirc.org/html/configuration-guide.html (which refers to latest version 0.9.4 in zesty). There is also an upstream mailing list at http://sf.net/p/lirc. Closing this as invalid, basicallhy as an old support request.
