been using the remote which comes with this hauppage WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 for openelec / libreelec for years always worked out of the box. Just tried fresh install on 7.95.1, no response, nothing from irw.
I have had the same problem on 7.95.1 Generic, I have tried irrecord and it recognized the remote and built an .conf file but no response from kodi or irw. I am using a HVR-1250.
