I wound up giving up on the MCE remote when I ran into the troubles like you did and getting one of the FLIRC remotes. I would like to give it another try given you success with it.

I was using the generic term. the IR receiver i was using was an HP MCE receiver and remote.

The HP receiver I am sure is a chinese knockoff. :-)
