irw's output is good for me. I have the Channel Up\Down keys mapped to Key
Up/Down CurrentWindow, as well as the Menu Up/Down keys. This should work,
since the keyboard up/down keys change channels.

It's not just the channel buttons - menu, info, etc. are effected as well.
One thing I did notice today is that if I mash a button repeatedly,
occasionally it will be picked up in liveTV, which sounds like a
hardware/driver issue, except that everything works perfectly and
consistently outside of LiveTV.
