Agreed.

Makes sense. I updated it at the wiki. I also tried to group the keycodes by
function there.

I'm not sure what we should do with those buttons. 

Probably, the most complete IR spec is the RC5 codes:
	http://c6000.spectrumdigital.com/davincievm/revf/files/msp430/rc5_codes.pdf
(not sure if this table is complete or accurate, but on a search I did
today, this is the one that gave me a better documentation)

I suspect that, after solving the most used cases, we'll need to take a better look on it,
identifying the missing cases of the real implementations and add them to input.h.

Hmm... Maybe TV-on-demand is another name for pay-per-view?
