For anyone using this guide that has an MCE IR remote this thread;

Provides an ir-keytable that greatly improves ease of setup. All keys on MCE remotes are configured.

Install is easy;
1) remove LIRC
2) install ir-keytable
3) create /etc/rc_keymaps directory
4) copy the rc6-mce config file from github to rc_keymaps
5) sudo ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce

Remote will then work without issue, as long as your receiver is already working of course.
