Where do you find these "cheap serial IR receivers"?  I've searched a bit 
on ebay but can't seem to find what I think I'm looking for.  

On a related note, I'm a little unclear on how the remote would work with 
multiple frontends.  For example, if I had a frontend and a combined 
frontend/backend, could I use a remote on each?  Would the remote on the 
dedicated frontend need to physically connect back at the backend or would 
it connect ot the frontend?  Also, if I had two tuner cards, could each 
frontend tune into its own station then?

Thanks
