If the key repeat is disconnected from frame repeat, it is hard to scroll down a menu, say, by exactly 7 steps. I and Darren Salt patched the cx88 driver (of the new Hauppauge Nova-T) to do that, but sadly it seems that the patches will not make it to the v4l hg tree. The patches map the RC5 frame repeat rate of 113 ms to key repeat. The first repeated frame is discarded in order to get some delay before initial repeat. The repeat rate feels okay.
