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
