so, found the behaviour kit, played with that for a while.

then found that I could unmap the eyeTV controls from being 'direct to receiver' or whatever. Then the slingplayer application had them all available for me to map.

then I went in and added the ones that weren't there (number keys etc) as custom keys. Needed to change to single key press to stop repeats, but seems ok so far.

I don't like the idea of needing eyeTV open for this to work though. Will stick it out for a while and see how I go.

hopefully I'll have it mostly polished up by the time my demo runs out so I can know whether to buy it or not. But looking good so far :D
