I find that the old grey hauppauge remote has the perfect arrow key / coloured key layout, but it doesn't have any programmable volume and channel keys.

If anyone else noticed that support for that type of remote got broken sometime after 2.6.32, I'm pleased to report mine is working again since I upgraded to kernel 3.0.
I've got a TBS 6920 too now, its remote can be seen in one of the pictures at http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/product/6920.html. It has separate volume and channel keys but not play, stop or record (did they not think people would use it for a PVR?!). Despite explicitly claiming Linux support for the card in general the remote doesn't work. The linuxtv wiki doesn't mention the remote. Does anyone know if support for this is being worked on?
