[mythtv-users] Use PVR-250 Remote with non-PVR-250 card?

You could PROBABLY plug in the PVR-250 IR Receiver, and then use the 
"other card" remote.

Most IR Receivers/Blasters use a serial interface, so chances are the IR 
unit itself will be compatible between the cards. However, each remote 
uses different commands, so the new card probably won't understand the 
Hauppauge remote....
