Actually, I have been (slowly) trying to build up a list of devices alongside the list of keysets, to provide an alternative way to set up the buttons in Pierogi. (That is, in fact, what is behind the currently nearly-useless filter-keyset-by-device option in the keyset selection window; I've got each keyset object registering the names and types of devices that are known to work with that object's codes.)
But it'll be quite a while before that list becomes very useful.
(BTW, I really should ask folks to tell me the make and model of devices that work with Pierogi, so I can register them in the list. Let me go put that on the first post...)
To your above...
Well in that case in might be worth noting that that configuration set also works with the DTX9950 and 9980 as well.
I'm sure that there are also some duplicate model receivers that also work with one or other keysets.
At work we have a digital receiver box too which is made by hauppauge, If it would be helpful i could try and find a working configuration for that as well.
Also, some other thoughts...
Are you planning to build in a macro feature into your program ? One that has timed events would be extremely helpful especially at the gym.
I have some other thoughts as well, such as tying Lirc commands in with RDS streams and channel dropping/flipping ability which would tie into macros.
All in all I would love the ability to just leave my phone on the night stand and let it flip through the pre-defined channels i set giving me the ability to rule out ("drop") channels as i go along using only a single button click.
This is something i've never been able to do with qt.
Let me know your thoughts, thanks again!

And, as has been recently mentioned, you can pull codes right off of existing remotes. The LIRC server has that ability (when running on a PC with an IR receiver), and I think you can get the codes off of some types of "learning" universal remotes too. So there's always some way to do it, with enough effort...

I tried both philco/nec and some other generic sets that where mentioned but still nothing. (unless i missed something)??? I was able to get the generic sony keyset to work with the tv itself.
....
Can the proximity or pos sensors on the n900 be used as a rx for Lirc server?

I will be so busy these weeks, when i have time i will see if i can do that.

I do have about a half-dozen "factory codes" for the LG TV Keyset #1, but I'm kinda nervous about putting them in the UI; you can really damage your TV if you don't know what you are doing. I suppose I could make a special "Do not use unless you know what you are doing!" window, or some such...
And in most cases you use the EZ_adjust only once or twice for unlock usb support on xxLH3000 or xxLH20 LCDs and/or to unlock disabled THX Cinema video profile on LF/LG/LH series. And of curse you won't ever need to downgrade your firmware anymore when bying a new tv with some of these options disabled.
For interested people; read here and here.
I found the Service_menu file from the LIRC database didn't work, but the RAW code from the wiki did (at least on my xxLH5000) so I packed my qtirreco folder from /home/user/MyDocs in case you could need the *.conf files. (If anyone else wants to try them, these files are for qtirreco and tested and working at least with LG xxLH5000)
Greetz,

That's the only keyset available in the LIRC config files, but I've found one more in the hifi-remotes website. I'll try to decipher that one. (For some reason, that one looks like it has more than two dozen codes; do you know how many buttons there are/were on your A/C's original remote?)
I think yes, on both machines. I know for certain that LIRC folks are using MCE receivers with the LIRC server; that is, in fact, the main purpose of LIRC to begin with, to allow you to interact with a PC with an infrared remote control. I've gotta admit, though, that I don't know enough about it. I've really only played with IR on the N900.
(I really need to start doing this myself, I've still got a few remotes lying around the house here that I'd like to get keysets for...)

If anyone here has access to a large amount of TV's/receivers (for instance if you work in a electronics store or something like that) , I can send you out a palm clie for IR code recording.
I've got a couple extra palm devices hanging around collecting dust.
Let me know.
Omniremote can record codes and if you have SIR/FIR capable IR port on your PC or laptop you should be able to also record codes with Lirc
