I experienced similar behavior on a fresh install with Fedora 16.  I was
only able to use a few buttons on my remote.  I realized that I didn't have
all the lirc configuration files installed.  Check .lircrc in /home/mythtv
(or your user), check /etc/lirc/lircd.conf, and check
/etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf (for the proper lirc module to load).  Your paths
may vary, of course.

I keep a copy of the working configurations on another machine for easy
access during upgrades.

I hope this helps. :)
