what kind of card is it?  you could Google to see if that card uses
the same type of IR signal that the hauppauge remotes use.
or you could just plug it in and see what happens...

The Hauppauge IR receiver is just the IR receiver chip on a really long wire.  
Check out:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/47571?search_string=vcc%20harry;#47571

for the pinout.  If the circuit you are using just needs an IR receiver chip 
to work then it should work.  If there is more to the missing receiver then 
you may be SOL.  You don't specify which other tuner card you have, but most 
I have seen just use a IR receiver chip.  The pinout might be different.  
Good luck.  HTH!

You could PROBABLY plug in the PVR-250 IR Receiver, and then use the 
"other card" remote.

Most IR Receivers/Blasters use a serial interface, so chances are the IR 
unit itself will be compatible between the cards. However, each remote 
uses different commands, so the new card probably won't understand the 
Hauppauge remote

I happen to have another TV tuner card that also has an IR
receiver/remote plug on it.  However, I've lost the IR receiver.  Does
anyone know if I can plug in my unused PVR-250 IR receiver into this
card and then the PVR-250 remote with the TV Tuner card (through
LIRC)?
Has anyone ever tried to use the PVR-250 remote with another device?
Thanks!
