[mythtv-users] Hauppauge remote, different IR receiver

I currently have a backend/frontend system setup using a PVR-250 and  
the Hauppauge remote.  I would like to upgrade my remote to the Radio  
Shack model described in Jarod's guide.  I know I will have no problem  
getting this remote to work with the Hauppauge receiver.  But, I would  
like to use the Hauppauge remote on a different frontend machine.  I am  
looking to purchase a serial IR receiver, as I don't have the soldering  
skills to build my own.  I know the Hauppauge remote uses the RC-5  
protocol, so I think I need to find an RC-5 compatible receiver.  I  
found one on eBay that looks like it might do the trick.  It says it is  
compatible with Linux and works with 99% of all remotes.  It doesn't  
specifically mention anything about RC-5 though.

Can anyone confirm that this will work?  If not, can you point me to  
where I can buy an RC-5 compatible IR receiver?

Thanks

Chris
