[mythtv-users] MCEUSB transmit not working. Same codes send as receive. Hardware working fine.

An update.

I have this small snip of a config I tried and the OK button works on my 
IPTV box!

Now, why would this be?  Here is the remote config below.  Why would my 
receive config not work to transmit but this does?

I wish the config was complete but its not.  Only 3 keys....

begin remote

flags RAW_CODES|CONST_LENGTH

aeps 100

ptrail 0
