I'm using the Harmony 650 and it works great with the ortek blaster. I can also get the bahavior that Tret is seeing but in my case it's very minor. 3 quick presses will result in moving down 4 items in the menu sometimes. I have the repeat rate set to 1 under troubleshooting.
Be sure to set up the 650 as the ortek remote and not as a generic mce remote.
Under customize buttons set prev to clear. This makes the back button work
I also used the keymap editor add-on to assign the short and long skip buttons on the 650. FireTV doesn't fast forward or rewind very well.
