It's possible X-Windows is detecting your remote as a keyboard and
processing [some of] the keys.

If this turns out to be the case then, rather than configuring X to
ignore your remote (as described in the above thread), you might want
to consider ditching lirc and using a combination of xev and xmodmap
to map the remainder of your remote's buttons to the keycodes that
mythtv expects.  I've recently made this switch, and ended up with a
much more responsive remote.
