Tony,
    What version of ivtv or what kernel are you using? What kind of 
remote receiver are you using? (onboard the pvr150, or serial?)
I noticed this back in around version 0.10.0. It affected my homebrew 
serial remote, in that it would give false repeats.
irw would show the repeat number as 00 01 02 00 01 00 01. It made it 
impossible to navigate in mythtv while it was recording.
This was fixed in version 0.10.2

HTH,

Richard
