I think this should be reviewed by Steve Toth first (CC-ed him).

One thing that this patch breaks is if you have multiple Hauppauge remotes, 
some sending 0x1e, some 0x1f. With this patch I can't use both, only one.

It might be better to have an option to explicitly allow old Hauppauge 
remotes that send 0x00.

Or an heuristic: if you see a remote with device 0x1e or 0x1f, then filter 
remotes with device 0x00 afterwards.

A third option might be to extend the hauppauge option, allowing you to 
specify '2=Old WinTV remote' or something like that, and if set device 0x00 
will be allowed.
