I have several LIRC profiles that I would like to use on my Harmony remote, and would like Logitech to add to their database. Unfortunately, the LIRC file isn't much use to the Logitech support team.
Is there anything I can use to convert from LIRC to HEX? Logitech expects sixteen sets of four hex characters per each command.
This is a partial of what I have from LIRC. I have no examples of the HEX expected by Logitech.

I don't know of any program to automate the entire process, but you can use the MakeHex program to create the Pronto Hex (that Logitech expects) based on information an expert, such as myself, can see in the LIRC file.
But for your Hitachi TV, you shouldn't need to do any of that. Most Hitachi TV's use a standard set of IR signals that you can easily find online in almost any format you like. I'm sure Logitech already knows that code set. The LIRC file you just posted is for that standard Hitachi TV code set.
If you did want to use MakeHex, the key information matching that LIRC file is that Hitachi TV's use NEC1 protocol with Device=80
MakeHex can generate all 256 possible function codes for NEC1 device 80. Then it is a bit tedious (but not too hard) to translate from the last two digits of each LIRC code to the function number in the list of 256 generated by MakeHex. For example:
Additional info: I was ignoring the "sixteen" you mentioned because I know Pronto Hex can be imported for use on a Harmony remote, and I don't recall what format might be consistently sixteen sets of four hex characters. Pronto Hex is sometimes sixteen sets of four, but more often much longer.
I found your other thread http://forums.logitech.com/logitech..._date_ascending&page=1 where I see two people are very insistent on the "sixteen". I don't know if they are correct. Maybe if I saw some samples of the format they want I'd recognize it.
Are you also trying to control that device? Or was that just posted as a sample of Pronto Hex to ask how to use Pronto Hex for a Harmony? Pronto Hex is the form generated by MakeHex. I know Pronto Hex can be used for a Harmony. I don't know how you do that nor whether that needs software that the support team keeps only for their own use.
