That's the same as the lircd.conf file that the lirc team provides for the
Hauppauge remote that comes with the PVR-350. Well, with the exception of
missing 0's

Ex:
      begin codes
          OFF                      0x00000000000017FD
          GO                       0x0000000000001FFB
          1                        0x00000000000017C1
          2                        0x00000000000017C2
