old remote with hauppauge 150mce?

[bupalos]

Hi everyone. I had an older Hauppauge 250 with the 45 button remote, which worked fine, but the card died. Can I use it's remote with the new 150mce, or does this card not have the little ir dongle connector? I can't tell from pictures.

IIRC, the 150MCE card does not come with the IR port since it was designed to be used in a Windows MCE environment so there would already be a MCE remote used.

If you wanted to get a 150, get the non-MCE version, or else, get a USB-UIRT to do the IR receive/blasting with any tuner card.

edit2: Actually, if you are buying a new tuner, maybe look into the HVR-1600 with the hauppauge remote. Runs the same price as the 150 and gives you a digital tuner along with the analog tuner. http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/compare/compare_hvr.html
