Can anyone tell if it is possable to get dbox2 to work on a different "non stanard (Fernbedienung)" the (Fernbedienung) i would like to use to is a nokia media master 9850T
There are code on the lirc.org site for this remote control (Fernbedienung)
is this possable??
dbox2= Nokia 2x1
lircd.conf

Yes, but not out of the box.
The dbox2 has 2 IR inputs, one is a 38 kHz Demod and is connected to the frontprocessor. There is no way to change its operation, so it will only accept the dbox2 remotes (newer and older codes for Nokia boxes and only newer for Sagem/Philips).
The other input is connected to the Demux (actually a multi-purpose chipset). But BR decided (for unknown reasons) not to use a proper IR Demod but just a simple IR diode. Regular remotes transmit their signals as pulses, usually at 36/38 kHz but some obviously also use 56 kHz. Trying to demodulate these pulses directly would require the driver to deal with thousands of interrupts per second. Also you'd have to filter the signals in software (to get rid of noise like flourescent lights etc.). So it's not viable.
Instead one can replace the diode by a Demod. I've
this and have also written a driver for the (still experimental) 2.6 kernel that is able to deal with it directly in the kernel (it does not use lirc). Works like a charm.
You can however also use LIRC (though I'm not sure how well that works, I didn't write the original avia_gt_lirc-driver that is in use for the 2.4 kernel). I'm just not sure if the LIRCd offers the possibility to "inject" the keycodes back into the /dev/input/event0-device like rcsim does.
If you can program it should be not problem.
The modification (replacing the diode with the demod) is described (in German, sorry
) for a Sagem here:
http://forum.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net ... php?t=7707
and for a Nokia here:

Philips should be similar.
For a Sagem this takes about 10 minutes if you know what you're doing.
I've also already written a driver (not in CVS yet) that can receive the signals for the Dreambox remote which makes it possible (after editing an XML file) to use this remote for Enigma which is perfect because the original dbox2 remote lacks keys.
