I have a similar story with my Logitech 880 remote. Here's a tip for  
you.... Find a button you don't use (like the Power button) and assign  
it a key in .lircrc. Then remap that key to the Main Menu jumppoint.  
Then program your Logitech remote to issue that command when you hit  
the Power Off button. Now every time you hit Power Off on the Logitech  
remote, MythTV jumps from whatever it was doing to the Main Menu. I no  
longer worry that someone has left something playing or even worse -  
LiveTV using up valuable CPU/disk bandwidth while no one is watching  
it. It's been the single best thing about getting this remote.

Of course, that and the fact that I can hit single buttons to switch  
from watching MythTV to play Wii, PS3, XBox-360, listen to streamed  
music, listen to vinyl, listen to SA-CD's, radio, etc, and all the  
components turn on/off and to their correct inputs like they're  
obeying my every whim.
