I think the wiki page is wrong. I've never actually *tried* to
reprogram any of my mce remotes, but I have a suspicion that only one
of them, if any, actually supports reprogrammable volume keys. The one
in question has dual power buttons, one marked "pc" and one marked
"tv", and is Microsoft-branded.
