Dumb remote control question. I have the $12 Ortek USB receiver for use with Harmony remotes. When I first got it, Amazon hadn't pushed the Harmony smart hub compatibility, so I was using my newer model remote to talk to the Ortek receiver and thus the fire. At that time, I had the damnable "double press received on directional keys" problem. I fixed it with a seemingly arbitrary number of repeats set in the Harmony software (I think it was 2 or something, it was NOT zero).

Now, I have purchased a second FireTV. Since I don't need the Ortek anymore on the TV using the smart hub (bluetooth compat), I moved the Ortek receiver to the new room/FireTV and am attempting to get one of my older Harmony (non-bluetooth) remotes to work. I have a Harmony One and an older one, probably 600 series. I absolutely CANNOT eliminate the double-taps. Same for both remotes. I've tried every repeat setting from 0-5. The actual Ortek remote doesn't produce the double presses. And yes I've tried learning the command directly from the Ortek to spoof on the Harmony instead of pulling from the database.

Googling this problem is...soul-crushing. Aside from the the repeat config (which I already know), you occasionally see people mention the inter-key delay or inter-device delay, but no suggestions as to what to do with them.

TL;DR: Anyone been able to eliminate double-pressed directional keys with the Ortek receiver + older-model Harmony remotes, via means OTHER THAN the 'repeat' setting, which I've already tried?

Thanks in advance!
