I'm using a Harmony 628 which I have configured using HIP to simulate a Hauppauge remote. Works fine with Gbpvr and also controls my TV and Amplifier as well.
For the reciever I built a serial IR. Only cost me about $10 and it works great from a distance of about 15M. Only 1 drawback is by using serial I can't wake the box up from standby. I physically have to press the power button once a day when I turn it on. Big deal.
Mind you I could set an auto wakeup at a certain time, that would suffice in most circumstances. Though pressing 1 button doesn't bother me...8)
