If you are using Windows Media Center, this is definitely a must have. You can program Universal Remotes to work with the receiver. I couldn't be happier with this product.

Works great but remote feels very cheap. Almost feels like its hollow, but works very well. Useless intructions in about 20 languages but no documentation on buttons on remote. Now I can control Media Center without mouse and that is all that I really wanted.

Installed with no problems. IR Booster worked great. Can control Shaw Satellite Box remotely on my PC. Using Win 7. No documentation for remote control key functions which would have been useful.
Media Center set-up was little more challenging.
Works great with XBMC running on Ubuntu 64 9.1

I installed lirc using the lirc-mceusb drivers on Ubuntu amd64 9.1. Then fired up XBMC and it worked flawlessly. I can control all functions of XBMC with the package remote. Now I will try to train my Harmony 550 so I can use only one remote.
Works, but not detected by default in WIN XP

Had to select drivers for an eHome Infrared receiver under xp, but i'm now able to use the C0mc4st DTA boxes with MCE, and that was the point.
