OK, that must be a much later remote (2006+). The original remotes were heavily COGS optimized. For example, the first remote used a PIC microchip with 1kB of ram. We had 2MB of flash, so the server would create a massive state machine that the remote would then interpret (dumbly). For example, on menu #27 it would show four textual menu items, where say item #3 would cause IR command #38 to be sent then jump to menu #11.
This core architecture (server working out all of the UI and then sending it down to a psychotically dumb remote) was in place for all remotes between 2000-2005.
