MCE sending multiple #'s to IR Blaster (changing channels)

I recently switched from cable to DirecTV (satellite). I went through the
"Set up TV signal" in Media Center, and I went through the manual setup of
the remote as it didn't recognize the DirecTV remote. All seemed okay,
except sometimes (often - about 1/2 the time) when I select a channel in
Media Center's guide it sends 5527 instead of 527 or 5446 instead of 546 - so
it doesn't change the channel correctly. (I see the numbers show up on the
TV screen before the channel changes.) I tried re-learning the remote, but
the problem is still there. (Media Center is changing channels through the IR
Blaster attached to the front of the DirecTV box.)

The O/S is Windows XP SP3, Media Center Edition 2005. The IR
Receiver/Blaster came from Pinnacle.

Media Center had set the remote speed to slow, during the channel changing
test (6 times up a channel). I went in and said it worked on fast, and now
it changes channels correctly.
