Capture card and remote

[waxlrose]

So I'm thinking of setting up a DVR to have on my main TV. It will run all the time, pause live TV, record shows, all that kind of stuff.

I have a slim line case so I was thinking of getting a WinTV-PVR-150 MCE l.p. Will this work well for what I'm doing?

Second question is for the remote. Do I need hauppauge remote(does the 150 low profile even have the IR hookup)? Or can I get any kind of remote? Like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Remote-Control-Wirel...20b126329b

Thanks.
