Maybe Klaus could say something to that? Are we searching in the right
direction ?

I'm completely useless with C, and I don't have the plugin code to hand,
but 
if you're simply looking to remove the remote control support, just
comment 
out (by putting /*            */ around the code block) everything in
the 
'lirc send' function except for any 'return' at the end...

If you want to actually make use of LIRC for your cable box, that's a
bit over 
my head - make sure that you can get it to work via LIRC normally before

tinkering around deeper into other code! :)

From memory, I think this is documented in the README that comes with
the 
plugin - if the frequency listed in the channels.conf is 3-digits, it
will 
use the 'sky' plugin - the only difference between one 'sky' channel and
the 
next as far as VDR is concerned is that the 3-digits are the channel
number 
that will be sent to the LIRC daemon... for actual audio/video, the
plugin 
will always simply read the TS from /dev/video2

Cheers,
Gavin.
