If you select PVR as the device and MythTV as the model there are 
several preset configurations that allow the Harmony to emulate 
Hauppauge remotes. The one named "MYTHTV 0.19" or something like that 
matches the remotes shipped with the 250/350, there's another one, I 
forget the name, that matches remotes from the old WinTV frame grabber 
cards. This way you can use the standard lircd settings, no messing 
with .conf files.

Having two PVR devices with different remote configs in the same 
activity allows you to map all of the harmony's keys to something 
useful since it has way more buttons than the hauppauge remotes. If 
you're not sure how I can elaborate on that.
