It's maybe worth noting here that, afaik, none of the Hauppauge dual
tuner USB sticks work properly. Some people have reported success, but
it seems to be a very hit and miss affair, unfortunately.

fwiw, I always throw the hauppauge remotes away and use an ATi
All-In-Wonder Remote Bob instead. Its main advantages are that it's RF
not IR (ie you don't have to point it at a visible receiver, it just
works anywhere in range) and that it appears as a normal HID device, so
lots of things work with it.
