Hi,
I've had the same problem with my Medion Remote from Aldi using LIRC
(I'm still wondering if perhaps my serial receiver is broken...), but
it worked after playing around with the suggestions I found on the
linux-dvb mailinglist:

(see http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2000/11-2000/msg00068.html 
and http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2000/11-2000/msg00069.html)

Increasing REPEATDELAY in line 18 (in VDR 1.1.21) of lirc.c didn't
work for me (try that first), but when I changed

   if (Now - FirstTime < REPEATDELAY)

at line 69 of lirc.c to

   if ((Now - FirstTime < REPEATDELAY) || (count == 1))

it did the trick for me. Works fine now.
