Yeah, I've seen that speed limit, but the frequency seems very close. And the fact that my IR module was / is working on the bench would make me think that its close enough. But maybe not close enough for the module in my TV? I've never used the CCP module in the 16F648A part manually. The data sheet seems kind of vauge. I know you have to mess with Timer2.
can someone throw me a bone and explain how to set the bits? My math is terrible but I attempted to Freq = [(PR2)+1]*4*4(?)*1(?) and get no where near a 8 bit number for PR2. If you could explain that too, it'd be a huge help!

Thanks again
