Thanks to all who responded. I don't have enough time to build one and was
hoping for a quick solution. I see that the PVR-150 comes with a remote.
Anyone used the receiver from that with the Harmony and Myth?

There are 2 definitions for each button because its the raw codes of a rc5
remote signal.
rc5 remote  doesn't send the same signal everytime u press athe same button.
it flips one bit/byte (can't remember now) when u press a button. so there
are really 2 signals for  the "power" button.

the usb-uirt2 driver doesn't seem to understand the lircd.conf hauppauge
file that comes with lirc.. so i had to generate my own using  irrecord.


I've attached my .lircrc file for your review.

In the harmony member website, i just matched my .lircrc button names to the
buttons names specified for the pvr250 remote on the harmony member website.

Thanks for the lircd.conf file. Are those the recommended key names for
Myth? Does anyone use different / more key mappings? 

Your conf file looks very different from mine, with two sets of long codes
for each command, but I'm guessing that's something to do with sending
/receiving??
