Well I finally got it all to work. For those that have not found (like me until today) there is a good how to install lirc. It can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Hardy.
With this use of that page I was able to sucessfully run and save irrecord. For those interested, here are the results:
Code:
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.3pre1(default) on Mon Sep 1 13:50:49 2008
#
# contributed by
#
# brand: VIZIO
# model no. of remote: VIZIO Remote Control VUR8
# http://www.vizio.com/accessoryDetails.aspx?id=1430
# devices being controlled by this remote:
# TV: VIZIO GV42L Code: 11758
# Game Consel: XBOX 360 Code: 21708
# MythTv: MCEUSB Philips Code: 20503
# IMPORTANT!
# Inorder to get this to work you need to program on of the buttons (DVD,
# Audio, Cable) to 20503. I did this so that controling the MythTv box would
# conflict with the Vizio TV.
