I had some time to trace out the circuit today, and discovered that 
basically all of the componentry on the board is for the learning input.

The 'normal' receiver module (component) output is wired straight to the 
'CIR Input' pin on the mobo connector, and is powered from the '5v 
standby' pin.

So, all you need is a standard IR receiver module, such as 
http://www.rohm.com/web/global/products/-/product/RPM7138-R , connected 
to the 5v standby, cir input and ground pins on the mobo receive header.
