I have a tinyusb (from lsusb, Bus 002 Device 004: ID 13d3:3206 IMC Networks DNTV Live! Tiny USB2 BDA (No Remote). dmesg output follows

The tinyusb is a very sensitive tuner and it works well, and is supported in most distros. However.when the tuner is receiving a tv signal it keeps on sending tab keystrokes to the computer (it has an ir receiver in it which emulates a keyboard, I found out what keystroke it was sending with xev). This makes other apps behave strangely. This happens using gnome-dvb-client, as well as kaffeine, and does not happen with either of these programs in Ubuntu 10.04 or Linux Mint 10. It also happens in Lubuntu 12.04, Solus OS 1 (debian squeeze based, 3.0 kernel), and Linux Mint 13. This tuner is recognized properly when plugged in and tunes tv as expected. I have googled all over the place with no luck.
Edit: I compared the firmware from Mint 10 (which works properly) and Ubuntu 12.04 (which does not) as follows:
Code:
michael@VgBoxSda6Ubuntu12:/media/sda9/Docs$ cmp Ubuntu1204_dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw Mint10_dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw
michael@VgBoxSda6Ubuntu12:/media/sda9/Docs$
Both firmwares are the same, so the OS is presumably getting the same output from the usb port. but it must handle it differently now.
