As reported I have had the remote working using the golden recipe. However the system did not perform too well in other areas so it'sbeen sitting still until now. I've installed yaVDR, a distro based on Ubuntu. It does everything the way I want it too. It's simply brilliant right out of the box. However, the remote doesn't work which is kind of a bummer. I have reinstalled lirc, chosen the right modules, removed the ones that came with the distro and added the options to the modules. So I get:

Code:

tv@tv:~$ dmesg|grep lirc
[    3.153146] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[    3.160460] lirc_dev: lirc_register_driver: sample_rate: 0
[    3.160955] lirc_it87: found IT8720.
[    3.160970] lirc_it87: set default io 0x310
[    3.160984] lirc_it87: set default irq 0xb
[    3.161018] lirc_it87: I/O port 0x0310, IRQ 11.
[    3.161027] lirc_it87: Installed.

and:

Code:

tv@tv:~$ cat /var/log/syslog|grep lirc

Dec  8 20:05:44 tv lircd-0.8.6[927]: acceptednew client on /var/run/lirc/lircd

But "sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0" gives no output whatsoever. I hope someone can help me getting it going again. It is the final hurdle before I get HDTV in my livingroom.
