Could you post or email links and instructions on how to set up this remote?  
I used the MCE USB setting in knoppmyth and it sorta works, but not all buttons are active.


As for quality of the PVR 500 card with Samsung tuners, did you patch your kernel?  It is almost adequate after the patch.

I do have seg faults when PIPing two SD feeds though, not the card's fault.
