It is also true that many manufacturers set up their devices to be extremely tolerant of off-spec IR signals. (After all, most remote controls are constructed very cheaply.) I'm always amazed looking at the LIRC config files; some of the timings in them are off by more than 20 or 30 percent, and yet they still work fine.
Some more information to be added to the IR table soon but thought it was worth discussing first.

Been on holiday last week and as I do with everything that has a IR remote I try Pierogi on it.

A Panasonic TV and a Panasonic CD/Radio both worked but only at the same distance as other Panasonic stuff I have tested before (~2m)

This made me think, you say the timings maybe off by X percent. How easy could it be to setup an "Advanced" tab in the Power Key area to manually tweak the timings?

People with Panasonic's etc can manually tweak to get the best range and let you know. Then you can adjust the timings for the other keys in an update.

I am sure you understand what I mean, possible or not a good idea?
