Carsten: I'm sorry to report that yes, that's the type of device that 
uses the newer IR chip and so AFAIK the v4l module you were trying to 
attach simply won't work.

The older posting you found sums it up pretty well.  The only additional 
info since then is that the HVR-1950 has the same IR feature as the 
blaster-enabled 24xxx model, and that I've since implemented a pvrusb2 
driver change that automatically gets rid of the "fake" receiver for 
devices with the later IR chip.

As for your last question, I have no idea.  I'm not knowledgeable in 
that at all.  IR event processing is a topic best asked in a venue more 
closely related to that particular subject area.
