                        Okay, I ordered one. No shipping. Ebay takes a

              Ive seen them quicker then that maybe a week or so, but
              what I like about them is they are pretty universal the IR
              receivers work with just about any remote.  I programmed
              my main remote and never used the one that came with it. <br>

    I received my receiver and got it plugged into my new ECS Liva
    running Fedora 21. It seems to get recogized:<br>
