MCE remote buttons don't work (and are counterintuitive)

[Athfar]

I can't link a bunch of buttons on the MCE remote. Pause, REW, FWD, Play, Channel Up, and Channel Down.

That and using it for the SageTV interface is horrid. Live TV is sometimes the only way to get rid of all the menus (and then you lose your place in the show you are watching because it goes to the end).

Does anyone have some suggestions to solve the LINK problem and to getting this remote setup properly?

I have sort of fixed this... I am not sure why but the default SageTV install 6.2 didn't seem to recognize the signal for any of the latter mentioned keys.

I installed HIP and manually configured them to the appropriate keyboard keys.

It works fine but does anyone know how to send SageTV commands using HIP (for items listed in the manual that do not have a keyboard shortcut)? I remember with the Hauppauge remote you had to have some extra sendcommand.exe or something.
