I have a different remot, but I think the "gap" is what you want to play
with.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Tivo remote repeating button presses

This is more a lirc question, I know. But hey, maybe someone knows the
answer here.

I have a Tivo Series 2 remote, the streamzap USB receiver, binary ubuntu
edgy myth install. I've attached my lircd.conf and some key portions of
lircrc to this email.

The problem is that no matter what I set "repeat" to, it seems that the Tivo
remote produces multiple events if I am not super quick with pressing the
button.

Let me make that more clear -- when the wife uses the Tivo remote, it
behaves like she presses the buttons multiple times. She is getting
frustrated to the point of anger. WAF is getting very low :). I know what
she is talking about. If I press the remote like a normal person presses
remote buttons, about 50% of the time I get multiple events.
If I'm super light with the touch, it works fine.

I have tried increasing the repeat, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. Not
being a lirc person, maybe someone can help me before I spend hours on this.

Thanks

------------ my lircrc ( a snippet ) ----------------

begin
prog = mythtv
button = Enter
repeat = 3
config = H
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = Tivo
repeat = 3
config = Esc
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = Chan_Up
repeat = 3
config = PgUp
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = Chan_Down
repeat = 3
config = PgDown
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = Thumbs_Up
repeat = 3
config = PgDown
end
