Yes it is.

You can't use irrecord with this remote control. From the manpage:

       oscilloscope. Very useful for debugging.  Of  course  this
       program  won't work with hardware that decodes the signals
       itself like e.g. TV cards or the Irman.

Just use the lircd.conf from my site, start lircd and then you can use
any of the lirc commands. For testing I used a .lircrc:

----------------
begin
        prog = irpty
        button = MUTE
        config = MUTE
end

begin
        prog = irpty
        button = SOURCE
        button = SOURCE
        config = SOURCE
end
----------------

and then executed: 'irpty ~/.lircrc -- cat'

This will give you some output if you press the MUTE button once or
the SOURCE button twice.

You also should see the debug output from dvb.c in your syslog.
