Hauppauge remote control and lirc

I have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI card with a remote control. I installed lirc and lirc-utils. The infrared is being detected. I also coppied the lircd.conf.hauppauge file from lirc web site under /etc/lircd.conf

# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=0070 Product=3401 Version=0001
N: Name="cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV 34xxx "
P: Phys=pci-0000:05:00.0/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:05:00.0/input/input6
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event6
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=100fc312 214a802 0 0 0 0 18000 41a8 4801 9e1680 0 0 10000ffc

This is the module being loaded after I start lircd

# lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_dev               12116  0

The problem is that the remote control isn't working correctly. If I open a terminal and press the buttons with the numbers on the remote I get the same numbers as output in the terminal. Just like if I was pressing them from the keyboard. No other buttons work.

If I run IRKick I get the following message "There are currently no remote controls available. You must first set up LIRC correctly".

What else do I have to do to make the remote work?
