In normal operation the idea of the remote is to operate across the living room. However for recording keys I found that holding it a few inches from the receiver worked better. If you find your configuration file contains RAW codes then you should try again.
In my experience recording from across the room created raw codes that were useless, but holding the remote close to the receiver created proper codes. The lircrc file defines the mapping between the buttons on your own remote as defined in the lircd.
Select the function you want to invoke and look at the up to 4 key assignments at the bottom of the screen. The text displayed there will be what you need to use for example PgDown. You are actually mapping the LIRC key codes to keyboard key codes. You may neeed to control your converter box with an IR blaster that can emulate the command send by the cable box remote. If your frontend and backend are the same machine then the same LIRC instance can be used for both IR blasting and receiving at the same time.
The same lircd. Normally there will be a different remote type for receiver and blaster functions. Using the same one for both will only cause frustration, since your commands to MythTV will be received also by the cable box and the commands from the backend will be seen by the frontend. Add the lircd. You can also create your own lircd. This process starts by configuring the video source in the Mythtv-setup program to use an an external channel changing program.
More specifically, the channel changing script is a per capture card property that is specified in the Input Connections section of mythtv-setup. Let's say MythTV wishes to tune to channel 2 either to record a scheduled show or because it was instructed by the user viewing live TV , it invokes the external channel changing program passing it '2' as an argument. The channel changing script turns that into an invocation of irsend, and LIRC transmits the appropriate codes via your infra-red transmitter.
In practice it is more complicated. Most channel numbers are more than one digit, and you may have to pause between digits. You may have to send a Select key press after the channel number. Also you may have to power on the cable box. The cable box may be in some incorrect mode such as On Demand and will not respond correctly to a channel number.
The scripts below are minimal versions that are easy to understand. See Lirc Channel Change script for a feature complete script that handles multiple IR channels and other more complex situations.
