To use the MCE remote with another receiver that receiver would need to be something like a USB-UIRT or IgorPlug. Those two (there may be others) can handle just about any remote control because of how they talk to the software driving them. I'm not sure about the Cyberlink one though.

Most remote receivers are only looking for their remote or for a particular protocol. The MCE remote uses a specific variant of the RC6 protocol, one that no-one else uses, so you'll only get it working with a receiver that is meant to be generic.

I believe some DIY serial port receivers would also do the trick, like these:
