That's probably the one I uploaded, as it didn't exist when I did it :)

This is what I just looked up:  I renamed my PVR to MythTV and it's
listed as "MythTV - Silitek PVR (SK-7551)".  Those codes have been
specifically marked as "Good" by the techs.  However, it might not
meet exactly what you want, I also know that the "q" and "z" mappings
were mapped after she went and in manually fixed the code.

HTH,
