[mythtv-users] annoying erratic key presses with remote on HD-PVR

I am running Mythbuntu 9.10. I have set up Hauppauge HD-PVR for both receiving 
(from remote) and transmitting (for blaster) IR signals. The (modified) modules 
lirc_dev and lirc_zilog are loaded without errors and working. 

Currently I am set up to use Radio Shack RS 15-2116 remote. But I am getting 
annoying multiple key presses when using the remote. When clicking a button, 
it hits Mythtv menus arbitrarily. 

I played around with the repeat and delay settings in my lircrc without any luck.

Then I tried irw. The key presses are showing up in multiples (00 01 02 etc) for 
the correct key first. But some other random keys follow it although I haven't even 
pressed that key. 

For example pressing the SELECT button will show up like this:

$irw
0x000000000000114b 00 SELECT RadioShack_15-2116-vcr0081
0x000000000000114b 01 SELECT RadioShack_15-2116-vcr0081
0x000000000000114b 02 SELECT RadioShack_15-2116-vcr0081
0x000000000000014b 04 SELECT RadioShack_15-2116-vcr0081
0x0000000000001160 00 CH+ RadioShack_15-2116-vcr0081
0x0000000000001160 01 CH+ RadioShack_15-2116-vcr0081

I also tried the MCE usb remote instead of the Radio Shack remote and I have the same problem. 
Any idea how I can solve this mutiple and erratic key press problem?
