What type of homebrew IR receiver - serial?

Try recording the remotes using one of the predefined 'generic' header
files and see if that helps. The RC-5 one would be my preferred
starting point. If using one of these header files, do not use raw
mode.

Also note that the majority of existing LIRC configs for 'standard'
consumer IR remotes use a frequency of 38,000Hz.
