I finally solved this mystery. lirc-0.7.2 will work, however, you need the lircd.conf.fusionHDTV from lirc-0.8.0 since the definition for the current DVICO remotes isn't in 0.7.2.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I have a more complete solution sketched out. However, since live TV is a very low priority to me, I may never get to it.

I have an alternate approach for handling LiveTV on my TODO list. The high-level idea is to optionally have Myth schedule around LiveTV, if possible, and only interrupt LiveTV if it can't do it. I almost never use LiveTV myself, so it's pretty low priority. Hoever, if someone else would like to try implementing it, contact me directly and I'll coach you through it.

That will probably work for the menu-defined speeds which are all multiples of 0.10. I don't think it will work right, however, if the user does a manual adjustment in 0.05 increments to an in-between speed. IMO, the menu should not show a checkmark for any speed in those cases.

Here's a small patch that might help. It's not in the official code
because it can cause other problems, mainly sluggishness in other
areas, if your system isn't fast enough.
I have some other ideas to try to improve skips and speed changes, but
don't know when I will get to them. My plate of things to do seems to
always be full.
