I haven't tried that one, but I always use the HP-branded ir receivers
from eBay. They're quite a bit larger, but they are fully LIRC and MCE
compatible. They use the default mceusb driver in a recent Linux
kernel (I think it's 2.6.35+), so no additional drivers are needed. In
Mythbuntu you just plug it in, select the MCE receiver option and
you're done.
