Troubleshooting inputlirc and TeVii s480

[Glenn Ramsey]

I need some advice regarding setting up a remote on a DVB card. I apologise if
this is not the correct list, but I couldn't find an lirc specific one.

I have a TeVii s480 installed in a Mythbuntu 12.04 machine, which apart from the
remote seems to be working fine. I have set up inputlirc using:

#/etc/defaults/inputlirc
EVENTS="/dev/input/ira"
OPTIONS="-g -c -m0"

/dev/input/ira and /dev/input/irb are set as symlinks to their corresponding
/dev/input/event* nodes by a udev rule. To get inputlirc to work at all I need
to restart it in /etc/rc.local because the relevant /dev/input/event* nodes are
not present when the default inutputlirc startup script runs.

The problem is that some of the keys are received twice. These keys are 0-9, and
the 4 arrow keys. It appears that the remote is being seen as a keyboard because
the 0-9 keys appear in a terminal and the arrow keys on the remote act like the
keyboard arrow keys. But if I press the back key on the remote while the
terminal has the focus then the extra keypresses stop and it appears to work
properly.

How do I disable the extra keypresses that are coming from remote?
