I'm using the same remote with the HDHomeRun's IR port.

That's not my experience.

Start by assigning a device to, say, the TAPE button. A DVD
player is probably a good choice. Then enter TAPE mode and
run irrecord, specifying -H and -d options as appropriate for
your USB IR receiver. You should be able to get a clean capture
for every button; if you don't, try assigning different device to TAPE.
