Well...a mixed bag of results with this. I configured the Harmony 600
remote as PVR --> Microsoft --> Windows Media Center in the Logitech
software. I then spent a while creating a lircd.conf file with irrecord.

But then when I ran irw I couldn't get any response so I figured it either
couldn't see my new lircd.conf file or, more likely, it didn't like it for
some reason.

In the end I've managed to get the remote mostly working by:
- Entering PVR --> Microsoft --> Windows Media Center profile in the
Logitech software.
- Using Mythbuntu Control Centre and choosing "Windows Media Center
Transceivers/Remotes (All)" under "Enable a Remote Control".

I'm certain this isn't using my lircd.conf because there are key codes that
come up under IRW that I didn't define, but at least it's
working...mostly...

The question I have now is how do I add some keys to this lircd.conf? In
particular I have red, blue, green & yellow keys on my remote that don't
seem to send any IR signals. Is there a way I can fix that by somehow
getting IR codes for them into the lircd.conf file?
