They will be fixed when Qt 4.6 is fully released.

As harriva wrote in the Irreco thread:
"Controlling any device requires that some good soul has recorded it's remote controller in first place.
No much sense of bothering to install at all if your device isn't supported so check first.

Lirc command database (^that there) isn't that comprehensive (+2000 devices), so good luck with it. Some models made by the same manufacturer work with similar devices, so maybe give it a try. Additionally you can try recording your remote with IR equipped computer or with external IR receiver.
Installing LIRC for recording remote controls on a ThinkPad @Youtube.com"

You can find tutorial video about making a new remote here.

QtIrreco is still under testing so it might be a little unstable at times.

QtIrreco is currently available in extras-devel.

I cannot access the remote control database via 3g, WIFI only. Apart from that it's an amazing bit of software!
