Strange. FWIW I used to use the Hauppauge "grey" remote, but I replaced
that card and none of my other receivers came with suitable remotes (not
enough buttons etc) so I bought an HP MCE remote and cheap generic MCE
receiver bundle from eBay. It's certainly an improvement on the
Hauppauge, but it has one key that doesn't work, an "Enter" key near the
bottom (not the main OK key).

I tested it with inputlirc and lirc and it produced the same codes in
both. As inputlirc is simpler and seemed to have a better default
auto-repeat delay I stuck with that.

My inputlirc config is:

EVENTS=
OPTIONS='-g -n Media*'
