I've got two of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121003
this has a long cable for the IR receiver for "remote" mounting.

and one of these:

this is a small device that just sticks out of the USB port about
1.5", but comes with a short USB extension cable (6"?). I have this on
my Foxconn ION box.

All are for my linux Myth frontends and all work perfectly.
