I get this, when pressing buttons slowly:
00000014f41f0000 00 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 01 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 00 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 01 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II

And when pressing at at least the aforementioned 2 presses per second:

00000014f41f0000 00 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 01 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 02 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 03 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 04 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II
00000014f41f0000 05 pijl-r Ati-Remote-Wonder-II

... same thing when holding down a button. Note: 2 rows per button
press! So when pressing Mr. John Veness' repeat=2 trick, mythtv does
react in a usable way.
