However, I am not using this thing as an emitter right now. I needed to
be able to control two STBs which I was unable to do with this emitter,
so I am now using it exclusively as a receiver. The above output came
from a frontend that's running Ubuntu 11.10.

But my server downstairs has the exact same motherboard (Zotac H55) and
distro, just more disks, tuners and a Microsoft-branded Philips USB MCE
IR receiver/transmitter.
