I bought another receiver from this vendor:

And it was plug and play working with XBMC Dharma. Even got it working on regular Ubuntu with a few easy steps:

No compiling needed. From now on I will say to avoid that one seller.
Got home and turned my IR receiver over. It is actually a OVU400102/71.
So, go ahead and add that model number to the list as needed a quick lirc edit and recompile.
Darn shady sellers
I actually like mine, nice long usb cord and looks very high quality.

HP Infrared Receiver for HP Media Center 5188-1667
Any experiences with this one? does it work good with XBMC and Logitech harmony?

That should be the preferred one. Under
Item model number: OVU400103/00, OVU400102/71
It lists two OVU's, which is odd. One is the very well supported one, and one is where I had to add a line to the lirc source to get it to work. Mine (the 102/71) is listed as a totally different part number than 5188-1667, so that one is probalby the legit one.

I got my OVU400103/00 ordered a couple days ago. Now I am just hoping it will be as easy and plug-n-go!
And now I am waiting to snag a Harmony during a sale!

I bought this one from a seller in China. Took about three weeks to arrive, but it was cheap, and works flawlessly with my URC RF20. And because the remote has a RF base, I don't have to look at the ugly IR receiver.

I got my HP IR receiver today
I do not have a remote to test it yet. Is there any way I can ensure it is the correct USB IR receiver by looking at attached devices? I am running XBMC Live.
My specific unit does not say OVU400103/00 but it is p/n 5188-1667. Is it supposed to have the OVU number marked on it some place? Just trying to ensure it is a genuine unit since I cannot test with a remote right now.
If it is a fake, then I want to return and buy another!
*UPDATE*:
I have run the following

I got

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0471:0815 Philips eHome Infrared Receiver- bmcclure937 - 2011-01-31 20:21
Thanks! It looks like mine (and yours) is legitimate. They simply have different IDs (probably the internal chip manufacturer). I know the eHome series works with LIRC MCE2 drivers... and I have heard of Philips, Microsoft, and Mitsumi branded internals.
At least this is my theory. My Logitech Harmony One should arrive tomorrow or Wednesday and I plan to get things configured.
I am beyond excited!
