You want a good universal receiver with 56KHz capability? Go with the
USB-UIRT with the 56K option from http://www.usbuirt.com/, but be sure
to get the 56K option. It's supported under linux, there's a forum
supporting it on the guy's website, he often posts there, and he's just
a good guy all around. The community is really great around this thing,
especially since it's just a UIRT!

This way you save your serial port for channel changing (if your
cable/satellite handles it), and you can use any of your existing
remotes, or anything else you happen to pick up. If your cable/satellite
isn't serial cable friendly, you can use that same USB-UIRT for sending
IR to it. Cool, eh?

I own it and I love it.
