Thanks -- that's exactly what I need... time to break out the old
soldering iron....

I have a simular situation and was wondering that to. I have a pvr350

if I could just wire it up and use it as a serial LIRC that would be
great.

Paul,
Thanks. So I'll order a StreamZap this evening and try it out next
week when it arrives. I've not found anywhere to purchase it locally
in San Jose although I'm sure someone must sell them. Guess I'll go
Amazon for now.
So there's a difference between an 'IrDA dongle' and an 'IR
receiver'? I know absolutely nothing of this technology.
Yes, there's a big difference. IrDA is a data communications protocol
that uses infrared. The IR receivers being talked about here are for
CIR (short for consumer infrared), which is a catchall term for the
sort of IR used by remote controls. It's just happens that a few IrDA
transceivers can be coaxed into handling CIR as well (the Actisys
IR-200L, for example.) I don't think any of the USB ones are capable
of this. The Actisys I mentioned is a serial model, and I don't
really recommend it; the range is pretty lousy.
Here's what I'm wondering: I've got a Hauppauge PVR-250, which came
with an IR receiver and remote. However, then I decided to stick the
tuner in the backend (different room) and have a play-only frontend
based on an EPIA motherboard. That means using the PVR-250 remote is
a bit of a problem, but I hate for it to go to waste and buy another
remote.
The EPIA has a CIR header on the board. Is it possible to somehow
wire the Hauppauge IR receiver to this block and use it without having
the PVR-250 in that box?
I've googled a bit to try to figure this out, but haven't found
anything.

This shows how to wire your existing IR sensor into a homebrew serial port.
