I did look at it, but I'm not all that familiar with raw IR stuff yet so 
I had no idea what to look for exactly.

I see. Oddly enough though, the stereo remote also uses a frequency of 
38KHz and that works fine. But its signals are half the length of the TV 
so that might be why I guess.

Sounds interesting, I changed my IR sender's pin to one that supports 
PWM according to a few docs. I'll try compiling the module and mess with 
that.

Yeah it is, but the replacement gpio-ir doesn't even work half as well 
as lirc_rpi. :D

Thanks so far. =]
