Once upon a time Klaus Schmidinger shaped the electrons to say...

There is a step "menu" i did.

I didn't press "down"! ;-)
My fingers are not that wide ;-)

>I have no idea _why_ you are seeing it. 

I have only the idea that the key i pressed 
generates the code for "down" too!
(Meaning the RC is broken or the LIRC table)


>The "confirm" and "continue"

That context is only clear when i pressed if key "willingly".

That's good!

Not only for me ;-)

No, i have a key "Up" and a Key "Channel+"
Due to unkwon reasons LIRC seems not to be able to diffentiate
between the two.

Yep. 

>What sense does it make to have "Mute" and "Vol-" on the _same_ key?

Ask the LIRC table ;-)

I think that the RC is generating "multi codes" or what ever stuff
which LIRC can't detect correctly.
