[mythtv-users] Tivo remote repeating button presses

[Jon Boehm]

Try changing the batteries in the remote.  When my series 3 remote  
gets week it starts rapid firing then fails to fire.  But when it  
happenes it sure behaved like and LIRC problem.  My repeat flags are  
set to 3 with no problems and I don't have any other gap or delay flags.

Good luck,
Jon
