You neded to use the 'repeat' keyword in your lircrc file for the butons
that have the problem. This causes lircd to ignore that number of rapidly
repeating keypresses.
eg.
begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Up
    repeat = 2
    config = Up
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Right
    repeat = 2
    config = Right
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Down
    repeat = 2
    config = Down
end
