Sent this to Paul directly because he cc'd me and it went in both folders.

I'm hoping I'm using the same keyboard as you are... LiteOn AirBoard
like this:
http://www.digitalconnection.com/Products/keyboard/sk7100.asp ?  My
receiver looks a little different than that, but the keyboard is the same.

I will generally put the keyboard and remote on the coffee table, which
is dark-ish wood, about 3-6 inches apart, IR windows facing each other
(of course).  Go into learning mode on the MX-500, then press and
release the key as if I were typing it, not holding it down at all.  The
MX-500 may think a bit before flashing "GOOD".  Arrow keys, numbers,
spacebar, pgup/pgdown, and various letters (M, I, W, A at least) work
fine.  Like I said, Enter gives me problems.
