I have experienced a strange problem after upgrading to 1.3.31. The remote key repeat is so fast that I haven't succeeded to change channels reasonably. A single press of any key gives two presses. I have tried to track the problem down without any success.
I assume you're using the remote control unit bundled with the Hauppauge Nova-T PCI 90002. I tried the vdr-remote plugin quite some time ago, before switching from dxr3 output to softdevice output on DirectFB.

If you are interested in trying softdevice-dfb on the Nova-T, see my patches at http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/. Current DirectFB doesn't distinguish key-press and key-repeat events.
I know lirc has/had that problem with devinput remotes like the Nova-T one so I patched it, but I haven't used lirc for a long time, nor VDR's remote plugin. I didn't realise VDR could access the remote via softdevice/DirectFB too.
