Try this:

http://www.hifi-remote.com/cgi-bin2/ueic.cgi?PVR_0618

it has key mappings ala the instructions on Jarod's site for
using an RC-5 remote (except these are the Tivo codes).
You can map individual keys per your liking (not sure how
they correspond to the LIRC config).

It may be that all available codes are not supported in the
LIRC config file.  That's why I like using RC-5: all the codes
are in the generic LIRC RC-5 config file and I can chuck the
ones I don't use.  Not sure from your message if "not
mapped" means "doesn't send any code" or if it means
"config file doesn't recognize the code sent".

HTH!
