Follow-up to this – a bit of editing to the /.lirc/mythtv file and got 
the basic functions to work; had to make a few concessions as don’t have 
101 keys to play with like on a keyboard, plus preferring to use the 
semi-basic remote that came with the TV just so nothing extra on the 
counter. (Could use a programmable remote.…)

At this point have the Seiki TV’s remote able to control play/pause, 
delete, bookmark, closed captioning, information as desired; the Fast 
Forward and Rewind functions – acceptable. Probably assign another key 
other than the arrow keys as they work properly for everything else 
(menu selection, etc.).

Only thing I haven’t figured out is how to get MythFrontend started from 
the remote (!). Maybe load-at-boot. (Hint?!)
