As the other post mentioned, it's probably going to show up as a keyboard
and I have had trouble getting those working to my satisfaction. This one,
however, I found very easy to set up and seems to read any remote I want to
use. This is nice as I can use the same LIRC config on both frontends, one
using the HDHomeRun IR receiver and one using this one.

Your link price is in UKP, so you might not want to use Newegg, but the part
number might help you find a UK supplier.
