One thing I wonder about. If you are using the MS IR USB MCE remote
(without the keyboard) you use the mceusb2 driver and in recent versions
of lirc the blaster ports work.

If you want the keyboard was well it seems you need the lirc-mod-usb
driver instead of mceusb2 - but do the blaster ports then work?
