You can either buy the IR receiver from Radio Shack and put it on the
end of a long 3 conductor cable with a 3/32" stereo plug at the end
(I have the pinout somewhere if you need it) or you can call up
Hauppauge and order a replacement or there is a third alternative
which I can think of but is somewhat dishonest and I kind of have
good feelings towards Hauppauge (you might be able to guess what
it is).

Any standard IR receiver should work.  The frequency should be
approx. 36kHz.  Similar frequencies would work but the range might
be limited.  The Radio Shack part number is 276-640 (according to
the LIRC site).

Let me know if you need the pinout for the plug.
