If the keyboard can control a TV directly then the keyboard must be
programmable for the different IR signals used by various TV brands (unless
the use of an IR blaster from the PC is implied). Somewhere in the KB
documentation there should be a list of TV models and the appropriate code
settings for the keyboard. Progam the KB for your specific TV model, or if
that isn't possible try setting it to something completely different so that
the codes that the KB sends aren't recognised as anything valid by the TV.
