I don't think you can.  When I compile support for the IR receiver on the
PVR-350 card it does not allow me to start mode2 or xmode2 because it says
its for a different IR receiver.  In my experimenting I can get my tv, vcr
and other generic remotes to work with the home made IR receiver but not on
the PVR card.  I can also get the grey hauppauge remote working on the pvr
card but not the home built IR.  Unless there's some trick I don't know I'd
say no you can't use the grey remote with the home built IR receiver.
