</div>I haven't tried that one, but I always use the HP-branded ir receivers<br>
from eBay. They're quite a bit larger, but they are fully LIRC and MCE<br>
compatible. They use the default mceusb driver in a recent Linux<br>
kernel (I think it's 2.6.35+), so no additional drivers are needed. In<br>
Mythbuntu you just plug it in, select the MCE receiver option and<br>
you're done.<br>

<div><br></div><div>While that is the same remote, it is not who I bought mine from.
