I'm using the 2005mce usb remote that is so new that it has new buttons on
it (look for enter and cancel buttons at the bottom).

I used the lirc.conf file that came from Martin Blatter (the guy who wrote
the mceusb2 driver - Google is your friend) and after adding the codes for
the 2 extra buttons (obvious what they were as there was a break in the
number sequence) it works great.

Range is good, view angle is OK on the receiver - I think the remote
itself has a quite narrow transmit beam so it has to be pointing the right
way!
Shame the IR blaster is not yet supported. On my list to run a usb tracer
on a windows box to see what gets sent down the usb cable so I can drop
the serial irsend for the sat box.

I tried teaching it - had the same problem you had hence using the prepaid
file :-))
