Does anyone know if any of these options in the Mythbuntu 'Auto 
configure IR receiver' section would work with an IR receiver that Plugs 
into a Hauppauge Note-T card?

Command IR: Direct TV Receiver
Command IR: Dish Receiver
Command IR: Motorola Cable box
Command IR: Pioneer Cable box
Command IR: Scientific Atlanta Cable box
Command IR: Sky Satellite Receiver
Microsoft Windows Media Centre V2 (usb): Direct TV Receiver
Microsoft Windows Media Centre V2 (usb): Dish Receiver
Microsoft Windows Media Centre V2 (usb): Motorola Cable box
Microsoft Windows Media Centre V2 (usb): Pioneer Cable box
Microsoft Windows Media Centre V2 (usb): Scientific Atlanta Cable box
Microsoft Windows Media Centre V2 (usb): Sky Satellite Receiver
Serial Port (UART): Direct TV Receiver
Serial Port (UART): Dish Receiver
Serial Port (UART): Motorola Cable box
Serial Port (UART): Pioneer Cable box
Serial Port (UART): Scientific Atlanta Cable box
Serial Port (UART): Sky Satellite Receiver
USB-UIRT2: Direct TV Receiver
USB-UIRT2: Dish Receiver
USB-UIRT2: Motorola Cable box
USB-UIRT2: Pioneer Cable box
USB-UIRT2: Scientific Atlanta Cable box
USB-UIRT2: Sky Satellite Receiver

And if so, would having 2 cards confuse it?

I don't want to just go clicking on things in case I make anything 
worse, but don't know what to do next.

Thanks
Damian
