I use the IR from Antec with the latest beta driver installed. I have my logitech mapped to a MCE remote and it works. The IMON (=lcd/ir oem in the antec) drivers are indeed crap but we have some talented people here like CybrMage who are about to eliminate this problem for MediaPortal. Imon maps the IR signals to shortcut keys that work in MCE but because MediaPortal doesn't use them they simple don't work.

I use it for LCD display yes (works great) - there's an experimental remote option in the plugin that will make the remote work also but it's experimental and in my case the remote response time is very slow when i use it. BUT.. this experimental option is being moved into another project called IR Server. They are currently in the middle of IMON testing so see those topics if you want to know about the progress.
