[mythtv-users] Repeat Channels

Ok, so after finally getting my remote to consistently change to the
correct channel I am running into another issue. From the console I can
use my channel changing script without issue. If I press 123 on my remote
the STB changes to 123 without any extra signals.

The issue is that when I fire up mythfrontend I get the following behavior:

Keys Pressed Signal Generated STB Result
123 123 1 1
23 23 2 2
87 87 8 8
2 2 2

As long as I press a single digit I do not get any repeats, but when I
start entering multiple digits I get repeats. Last night I explicitly put
in repeat = 0 in my lircrc file. I thought that the problem was solved,
but not quite. Now what happens is 123 does change the stb to 123, but the
ir blaster still flashes and sends the extra 1 to mythtv. So the result is
that my stb is on 123 but the mythtv program guide thinks it's on channel
1.

Is there a setting somewhere in the frontend that I am missing? Anyone
else have this issue? Should I play around with the delay command in my
lircrc file?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
