Thanks for the answer Jon. I've forwarded it to my friend and I'm sure  
he'll appreciate knowing there is a control panel from logitech that  
will re-map the keyboard. I guess he'll have to weigh up the risk of  
some media hub features not working as well as whether the added  
expense of BT is worth it.
