Hi, 

I had a similar problem - and had to remove the Nova-T500 card from my
system (replaced with a USB DVB-T tuner) - and yes I kept the Hauppauge
remote, by using a streamzap USB receiver (which I already had).

I used irrecord to setup the new lircd.conf, the remote codes don't even
remotely (nice pun) match the ones when it was using the IR receiver plugged
into the tuner card. 

Best thing is it solved also the issues I'd had from 8.04,8.10,9.04 with
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi, the udev rules and
/dev/input events annoyances.

 

Here's the lircd.conf I recorded for the NovaT-500 Remote using the
Streamzap USB receiver .

You can get a cheap remotes with USB IR receivers on dealextreme (if you
don't have a spare like I did)

  <http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26368>
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26368

 

Or even a whole remote that looks a lot like the Hauppauge one.
