Whenever you use a new remote control for the first time, you have to
go through the key learning procedure.

Unfortunately there is no clean way to display key learning messages on
the telnet session. I would be happy if Klaus would pass these messages
through the cStatus interface...

For now you need an output device with a real OSD like a FF card to see
these messages. The skincurses plugin should work, too.

If you don't have an output device you could add something like this to
your remote.conf:

remote-tcp:3333.Up         0000000000415B1B
remote-tcp:3333.Down       0000000000425B1B

(As you can see, the key codes are ASCII codes.)
