Universal Remote for my Media PC Universal Remote for my Media PC

I recently bought this universal remote for use with my Media PC
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

I picked this one because its price was relatively low and some reviews said it worked with XBMC right out of the box. The remote did not come with an IR receiver and the usb IR receiver that I have from a small handheld keyboard does not seem to work with it. I am completely clueless as to how I might even attempt to get the remote/IR receiver to recognize each other.

Definitely not a computer whiz, but I am pretty decent.

Help would be appreciated.

You will need to make or purchase an IR receiver (example http://www.usbuirt.com/). Note that many low-cost universal remotes come with one included, so you should be able to get ahold of one (try eBay, a computer repair store, etc.) at low cost (ex., http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16880101002).
