[mythtv-users] IR receiver for non-serial laptop

[Charles Lesburg]

Hi all,

I've got a frontend in the form of a Compaq Presario 17XL560 laptop 
(500 MHz P3 -- a tad sluggish, but functional).  It's got a parallel 
port, two USB ports, a PCMCIA slot, but *no* serial port.  Anyone have 
recommendations for an IR receiver?  It should be no surprise that I'm 
looking for the cheapest solution.  I've actually got a Hauppauge IR 
receiver from my PVR-150 which I suppose I could plug into the mic 
port, but I don't think that lirc can deal with that.  Any suggestions?
