Just got things up and going with Roomie. I'm trying to a Directv HR22 that I'm trying to control. Seems that everything works well (all of the commands work), but when I press the down arrow in the DVR list it will usually repeat itself up to 3 times before stopping. The Up arrow works fine. It's not everytime, but most of the time. Any suggestions?

First, we would suggest restarting your DirecTV receiver. DirecTV regularly issues software updates that seem to have minor impacts on responsiveness like that.

Another technique that might work to adjust that if it continues after the restart is to set delays on specific buttons in the Remote Design. For instance instead of the default 200ms, use 400ms for the button that seems to repeat too much.
