Lee,

lirc.org is always the best place to get remote definitions for use
with LIRC. The one you are after can be obtained here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lirc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge/

You want the lircd.conf.hauppauge file (rename to /etc/lircd.conf). As
is possible with remote defnintions, you can store more than one in
the config file. The remote definitions you are after is called
'hauppauge_pvr' and is the second of the four definitions. I've used
these definitions with my older black and grey Hauppauge remotes with
no trouble.
