OK, I've done that.  Here's the remote section of my /etc/lircd.conf:

REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

Here's an extract of /home/phill/.lirc/mythtv:

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = mythtv
    button = KEY_PAUSE
    config = P
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = mythtv
    button = KEY_RECORD
    config = R
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = mythtv
    button = KEY_PLAY
    config = P
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

When I run ircat mythtv I still get no response on the screen.

Also, I've noticed that when I run irw I get different KEY codes from when
I run sudo ir-keytable -t -s rc0. For example one button returns KEY-AGAIN
in irw, but the same button returns KEY-PREVIOUS in ir-keytable. Is that to
be expected, or does it indicate that I've done something wrong?
