Huh?  This is an IR keyboard, not RF.

I've been poking around with my keyboard in lirc, and can almost 
guarantee you that without tweaking the driver, the mouse won't work (it 
sends a different kind of signal that makes irrecord freak out).

It does, however, look like the keyboard could be made to work (I was 
able to grab a bunch of stuff with irrecord, but never tested beyond that).

The remote works fine.  It's the same remote that comes with the 
pvr-150, and is supported via the mceusb2 driver in lirc.
