Well my Sky+ box doesn't respond to a SkyHD RC and nor does it respond
to an original Sky RC but I haven't tried a SkyHD with a Sky+ RC - YMMV.

This file looks like it's per distribution. The codes seem to be
inverted to what I read using my MCE receiver and a patched kernel:
http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/list/?page=3
e.g. for a Sky RC I see: POWER 0x0c
For a Sky+: POWER 0xc0c
And with a SkyHD RC: POWER 0x5c0c
I've never tried editing these files by hand before but I would try:
bits 16 # Actually it's RC6A-20 i.e. 20-bit
POWER 0xA3F3
TV_GUIDE 0xA333
i.e. 'or' the complement of 0x5cff to each code. Maybe adding the extra
bits will break lirc. If that's a no-go I would generate a new config
file using irrecord:
