MythTV does not manufacture hardware. We don't have remotes or IR 
receivers for a Harmony remote to emulate and have a profile for. The 
fact that MythTV profiles exist in the Harmony database is because the 
Harmony database is partially crowd-sourced, and any crowd will contain 
stupid individuals.

Chances are those profiles describe something common, like a Hauppauge 
Grey or MCEUSB remote.
