I tried this yesterday (but forgot to send this email) and it kind of
works.  All keys on the rmote are recognized.  The event reporting is
off, however, in that events are always reported in multiples of 8.
For example, a quick press of the OK button when running irw resulted
in the following output:

00000000000017a5 00 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 01 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 02 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 03 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 04 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 05 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 06 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 07 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 00 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 01 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 02 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 03 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 04 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 05 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 06 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 07 OK Hauppauge_350

Longer presses of the OK button resulted in more sets of 8 events.
Methinks each set of 8 events should be reported as one event with
repeats marked appropriately.  IOW, I would expect the output to look
like the forllowing:

00000000000017a5 00 OK Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a5 01 OK Hauppauge_350
