Paul.. thanks for the reply.. sorry its taken so long.. but here is the 
relevant part:

# Scroll up
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 2
repeat = 0
config = Up
end

# Scroll down
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 8
repeat = 0
config = Down
end


Your response got me thinking (doh! repeat!) but am not sure how to fix 
it anyways.. if I change the repeat=0 to repeat=1 won't that just do 2 
actions for each time I press the button? am presuming there is 
something else that should go here...

Thanks again

Craig
