There is no such thing as a "KnoppMyth" profile, as there is no such 
thing as a "KnoppMyth" IR receiver.  All you're seeing in the Harmony 
software is some configuration some user set up for their KnoppMyth 
system, that ended up getting pushed to the global database.

1. Figure out what IR receiver you have plugged into your system.
2. Find a profile in the Harmony software that matches that receiver, or 
program a new one using the remote bundled with said receiver.
3. If `irw` does not pick up keypresses from your remote, use `irrecord` 
to program an lircd.conf file for the remote.
4. If MythTV does not respond to keypresses from your remote, write an 
lircrc to map those named keys in lircd.conf to keypresses understood by 
MythTV.
