I recently got one of these Hauppauge media center remotes:

http://www.ballicom.co.uk/audio-visual/remote-controls/mce-remote-control-kit.p288597.html

to use with my Revo 3610 frontend. The USB receiver worked out of the
box (Fedora 12) and I tested the remote with LIRC using the devinput
driver and a suitable lircd.conf. No problems to report (IR
transmitter not used so far), other than the remote I received was
black, not silver as illustrated.

Cheers,
Nick
