I have the remote you referred to and struggled as well.   The key for me
was getting the right .lircrc and lirc.conf file.  The standard Dvico one
doesn't work.  I attached mine for you.  Note that I customized some of the
buttons to work well with MythTV.  You may have different preferences.  When
you run the Lirc setup choose USB, Dvico.  That will set it up for
usb/hiddev0.   After that is done, get the right .lirc file and copy it to
the right location.  Run lircd.  At that point run irrecord, just to see if
it is getting the signal from your remote.  If not, post what you see in
lirc log.
 The only other thing I had to do was I ran a script that was suppose to
autostart lircd.  I had to go into the .init area and edit that file so it
said usb/hiddev0 instead or lirc0.  Don't bother doing that until you are
getting something from irrecord or irw.
