Logitech harmony and Windows MCE setup with Hauppauge PVR150

[azilaga]

I'm considering getting a harmony remote for use with MCE and I'm wondering...does the harmony remote provide the remote receiver for the pc to control MCE, or was my Hauppauge PVR 150 supposed to provide that?

The PVR 150 is supposed to provide that particular part.

Crap. I bought the white box, and I don't recall seeing that part. Any ideas where I can get just the IR receiver?

you can get the MCE receiver and remote for about $24 from ewiz mce remote + reciever (other places also carry it) I have seen extra remotes sold separately but I don't think I have seen just the ir piece. There are other ir options that work with media center but your probably better of just getting the one designed for it as it will require the least setup/work with vista out of the box (if you are using vista which has a much improved mce over 2005) and if something happens to the harmony the mce remote is fine.
