Looking for an USB receiver

Post by owilsky »

Hi,

When I bought a Toshiba Notebook some month ago, it came with an MCE remote control.
I did not use it with the notebook.
But now I want to use it with my HTPC. So I need a USB IR receiver for it.
Can anyone recommend or point me to such a receiver that works with Eventghost?
All I can find (e.g. Amazon) come in a kit with a remote control bundled. Are there any receivers?

Or can I just buy an USB Irda stick that supports the HID protocol?

Thanks for any help,
Oliver

Thanks, but I was actually looking for a cheaper solution. $50 plus $20 for international shipping is just too much for me.
And a receiver is sufficient, I do not need a transceiver.

Any other solutions?
