Hi,
most motherboards have serial header on board. I've used Atric
IR-Einschalter on one HTPC and I can really recommend it
http://www.atric.de/IR-Einschalter/index.php
On another HTPC I've used USB remote that was bundled with the case
(MS-Tech MC-1200) and the problem was that the device was detected as
HID device and some keys generated combined events like Shift+3,
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R and so on. I wasn't able to configure LIRC to
understand it so in the end I wrote a small application to remap these
combinations to single events.

Hi. I use the Hauppauge MCE USB remote and think it's really good. Works
with modern kernels or lirc.

Subject: Remote receiver options...
I've been following various threads over the past year or so exploring
various options for having a server-client vdr setup and it got me
thinking.
I'm currently using a home-brew LIRC receiver attached to a serial port
which works perfectly. The ION-based boards look very nice as a vdr front
end (using xinelibout or some yet-to-be-written plugin!) because they can
do hardware HD decoding. However, I suspect a lot of these lack a serial
port so my simple LIRC receiver would be no good.
What are others doing in this sort of situation? USB-based receiver (there
are a couple described at lirc.org), or do most of the ION boards still
have a serial header (must admit, not looked into this properly yet!)?
Several DVB devices do contain receivers but that pretty much defeats the
object of having a server containing DVB devices and a client just for
viewing.
It all looks nice in principle but any lack of a remote is a deal breaker!
Cheers,
Laz
