Sorry for the delay replying on this one!  For reference, the first one I
bought, which *didn't* work:

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001M56DI0

The second one, which *did* work:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180878754211&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160

If that eBay link doesn't work, the item which worked was labelled:

"HP 5070-2584 Media Center Remote Control IR Reciever w/Blaster Cable
438585-001"



HTH,

Cheers,

Geoff
