[Philips DVD player remote]

It won't flash in. I end up with bare booloader and a message which tells me to contact support. Luckily enough it won't brick the dongle.

I tried with xev, keycodes change, the same arrow key gives 111, then 113, then 111 again. Same craziness with all buttons.

I'm trying to use a Philips DVD player remote. First, recording buttons failed often, but by repeating the procedure I finally managed to record all buttons. I read this means the frequency is non-standard? Second, when using it the keypresses pretty much give random results. I. e. pressing arrow down moves left instead, so on.

I'm ready to buy an another remote, can anybody point me to a remote on eBay that works?
