Where to buy a USB Infrared receiver? - UK

[stanglish]

Basically I appear to have broken my infrared receiver that worked with my media center remote.

Does anyone have any idea where to purchase a new one cheap if possible (checked ebay and no luck) usb receiver so I can use the remote again? I don't really want to shell out £30 on a full kit + remote as I already have 2 remotes.

Thanks everyone :o

Do you have a picture or model # of the broken item. It may help to see exactly what it is just in case I have what you need. I have a USB receiver that I got with some other kit but have never used it.

I think there are many different ones but this is the official microsoft one (black box on the left)

This is also a HP one which does the same job and which they bundle with their machines.

Not too sure why the image of the HP one didn't appear but just in case it doesnt again heres the url - http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/syst...ceiver.jpg

Cheers, that looks like it'll do the job! If you could PM me a price inc postage (only has to be 2nd class :p ) That'd be top. Thanks again.
