seeing that in the output of irw is normal (based on testing i've done
with multiple remotes) ... iirc i read that some remotes do that,
assuming that one of the signals will be lost due to human error,
distance to receiver, blockage, etc ...
however, all the keys work fine for me *except* the exit button (i'm
using the ATI Remote Wonder with the Power button mapped to exit) ...
occasionally, it will skip past the main menu and go to the shutdown
screen when i hit power, as if i've hit it twice (but i didn't, and this
has been tested many, many times) ... not sure what's causing it, but it
is really annoying ... a workaround i've found is to use the left arrow
to go back a menu instead, which seems to work more reliably on my ATI
