not so relevant now that someone has sent out a keymaster file and 
lircd.conf, but some info i thought i'd pass along...

from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/message/28434 (a response to a 
question about the hauppauge lirc file i asked a few months ago):
That lirc file describes RC5 protocol.
The one at the top without a model number is RC5 device 0. The
commands match a Philips HDTV that I have data on (from a CML file).
I haven't checked yet whether there is a UEI setup code for RC5 device 0.
If you want to duplicate it in KM, the rightmost 2 hex digits of each
lirc entry can be converted from hex to decimal (with window
calculator in view scientific, if you don't know easier ways) and then
used as the OBC in KM.
The second section in that lirc file labeled PVR 2/350 is RC5 device
31. To get the OBCs from those you must subtract 192 from the hex to
decimal conversion of the rightmost 2 hex digits (get the decimal
value of the low six bits.)
I don't have any data on other devices using RC5 device number 31.
i didn't care to replicate the poor functionality of the grey hauppauge 
remote and just made my own keymaster file based on that info.
