Post subject:  Streamzap Troubleshooting R6.02

I am testing a Streamzap receiver \ remote pair (new Duracells 1.6V) by pushing the navigation buttons on the remote and looking for a response on the screen menu. The red LED on the receiver blinks when a remote key is pressed. My readings in the forum suggest that just because the LED on the receiver blinks, this does not mean that your batteries are strong enough (very counter-intuitive). This is why I document the voltage of the new batteries. New batteries should be the first troubleshooting step.

I tested the remote at a distance of 6 inches at various angles as suggested by this article.

I think that the command below demonstrates that system sees the receiver:

Code:
[root@mythtv]# lsusb
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0e9c:0000 Streamzap, Inc. Streamzap Remote Control
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


Code:
[root@mythtv]# dmesg | grep -i Streamzap
lirc_streamzap[-1]: Streamzap, Inc. Streamzap Remote Control on usb4:2 attached
usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_streamzap
lirc_streamzap $Revision: 1.29 $ registered

Are there any other commands that can be used to troubleshoot? Thanks.
