Nope - no good - its an irda interface which is a different animal!

The Hauppauge USB MCE remote that comes with the PVR150MCE retail works
really well and I think is available seperately. Lots of keys for jump
points to make navigation easy as well. Dunno if DSE does owt in the USB
line that would work though.
