oh... erm do i feel silly now, i've been looking for the answer to this for ages (about 2-3 months), and have, on many occasions thought that maybe the bitrate was not important so long as the signal was still consistently recorded, but then as i noticed i wasn't getting any more results than those i had already managed (2 full working maps) i figured i needed this info.

It turns out there was a space ' ' at the end of one of my lines of the map file and this was causing the software to hiccup and see the data but not be able to display a name (for debugging) nor call an action..

SO!... it seems that so long as the data is recorded consistently, the bit rate can be set at any 'stable' value, whoops.. isn't that what i thought earlier?.. oh well..

Sorry to have bothered anyone. .. I'll just go and crawl back under the stone i came from now, maybe one day i'll get a nice remote and be able to sort my reciever out for that also, hmm, i'm looking forward to it already...
