If the gray remote that came with your PVR-250 is the same gray remote that
came with my PVR-350, your configuration is wrong.  (IIRC, I ran across one
or two bad config files before I found the correct one.) Here's what I'm
using:

begin remote

  name  hauppaugegrey
  bits           13
  eps            30
  aeps          100

  one             0     0
  zero            0     0
  gap          200000
  min_repeat      4
  toggle_bit      2


      begin codes
          OFF                      0x00000000000017FD

end remote

Try that and see if it works any better.  You also want to make sure lircd
is running, or else irw (and MythTV's internal LIRC support) won't work...if
you haven't done it already, do this:

rc-update add lircd default && /etc/init.d/lircd start
