Ahh, so it could be that all Foxtel STB's use the one type of remote? 

The STB I have is a Pace STB-120 (IIRC).

Would you mind sending me the config you mentioned (and an explanation of
what it took to get this working on your machine)?

This is unrelated but I'm currently having all sorts of problems with lircd.
Don't know what I have done to upset it. I had it working nicely with my
Hauppage remote a while ago but now it seems to die with 'lircd dead but
subsys locked' anytime I try to run anything that uses it (irw, mythfrontend
etc).

Talk about frustrating.
