I finally got it workig (to a fashion) by using the regkey workaround
suggested in:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896480

I had to set the 'KeyInterval' value to 500 before it finally registered.
Of course, now the problem is that it takes a very long time to change
channels so it'll have to do until Microsoft get's the remote control problem
figured out for good.
