I found that making your own remote config file does the trick better than,
as you call it, futzing around with those you find on the web. Check out
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html, and pay attention to
the section about irrecord. I, too, had my remote somewhat functional,
and then went through the process described there, and not only did
I get all the buttons working the way I wanted them, I learned something
in the process! :) Also, try google 'irrecord' for more info.
