I'm having problems on the newer Gotham builds with Tvheadend service interfering with the operation of my remote(s).
First I noticed it with a GPIO / LIRC setup which would work for a while then become very unresponsive (1 in 20 pushes approx would respond). I found if I killed the tvheadend PID via ssh, the remote would start working again until a short while after tvheadend automatically restarted.
Swapped in a FLIRC USB dongle (which doesn't depend on LIRC, but emulates a USB keyboard) and had almost exact same issue.
If I disable the TVH service and LiveTV support then the remotes continue to work just fine.
I don't have this problem with recent Frodo builds and TVH running.
