[mythtv-users] Strange remote input during live TV

[Ryan Rustong]

I have started having some strange behavior with my remote that I have been
unable to find the cause of.  I recently got a new remote (Harmony 650) and
set it up following the guide here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Logitech_Harmony_Generic_Setup.  For the most
part it works great and I've been able to get all the buttons doing what I
need them to.  However, during live TV it seems to insert an underscore
between each of the numbers making it impossible to jump directly to a
channel.  When looking at the input using IRW, I see just the individual
numbers.  The numbers also appear to work correctly when in the guide
allowing me to jump to whatever channel I want.

Here is an output of irw when trying to change to channel 1003 during live
TV playback.  When entering this button combination, on the TV I see 1_0_0_3
as I'm entering the numbers.  This ends up putting me on channel 3:

ryan at mythbuntu01:/etc/lirc$ irw
0000000000001781 00 1 Harmony550KnoppMyth
0000000000001780 00 0 Harmony550KnoppMyth
0000000000001780 00 0 Harmony550KnoppMyth
0000000000001783 00 3 Harmony550KnoppMyth

Below is most of my lircd.conf file (removed buttons configs that aren't
relevant):

Below is the relavant part of my lircrc also (again, removed buttons that
aren't a problem):

end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = 8
repeat = 4
config = 8
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = 9
repeat = 4
config = 9
end

Is there a setting somewhere that I may have messed up when setting up this
remote?  Is the problem more likely in my lircrc, or the lircd.conf or
somewhere else?  It seems to work fine everywhere except during live TV.

Thanks in advance,
-Ryan
