I am guessing that u have digital tv card and the remote is being
received by it and mapped as key presses, I found that if you stopped
lircd while watching TV the number keys would still appear on the screen
like you are direct inputing the channel, if that's the case post back
and I will go into depth on what I had to do to fix.
