Hi David,

I bought the same Plugable that you have.  I have it paired, but it is not
obvious how to configure keys.  In the Harmony app, when I select
"Customize Remote" for the activity, then select a key to configure on the
remote, it only gives me a Up, Down, Left and Right as choices.  I assume I
have it configure wrong.

I can do some googling later, but if you have time to write up some
instructions, I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

John
