I have an xbox 360 universal remote and a cheap knock off both of which work with my xbox. I wanted to get these to work with my mediaportal box. Now i have this IR receiver

KINAMAX ADS IR Blaster Remote Control Signal Sender - USB, IR TransmitterReceiver, Automation Software IR-BLSTR at TigerDirect.com

I see software and such but im unsure whether it would be applicable or not. Or as another option can i get another usb receiver for cheap to work?
