I have that remote, and I have my LIRC setup to emulate a Hauppauge 350 
remote.  I'm using a receiver from irblaster.info.  I just had to tell 
the Logitech Harmony software what the PVR remote I wanted to emulate 
and it set it up for me.  It worked pretty well right out of the gate.  
The major keys that I can recommend are:

1) Tell the Logitech software what your PVR remote is going to be
2) Configure LIRC appropriately for your distro to match that remote
3) Make sure you have LIRC detecting your receiver.

Hope that helps!
