Also looking for a UK source, specifically to use with a Harmony 515.
Anyone know where to get one?

My receiver finally came last week. Took about 8 weeks from China. P/N 5187-4597.
Works great with my Xbox edition Harmony and Windows XP with some tweeking.
I added the device as MCE Keyboard. After it was setup I noticed some of the functions were pretty sluggish. Mainly video controls (play, rewind, etc). I ended up adding a second device as MCE Remote. I used MCE Remote for all video controls and MCE Keyboard for things like 'C' for Content Menu, bound F11 to XBMC shortcut, etc.

100% noob version for setting this up
Hardware: Harmony 700 remote, HP USB IR Receiver (OVU400103/00)
1. Set up lirc: head to command prompt, type sudo apt-get install lirc
2. Select Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all), then for IR transmitter, select none. restarts and plug in the IR receiver
3. To set up Harmony, select new device, then windows media PC, select Hewlett Packard and put the model number as OVU400103
This should get you nearly all the buttons you want. you can use your old tv remote to get mute and volume control from the tv instead of xbmc. I also switched up the skips to jump 10 minutes by putting them as up and down arrow keys.
I can't even think of what else I need to do, but I may think of something in the future.
Thanks to everyone who made this sooooo painless. I am still very new at xbmc but this was one of the easiest things I have ever gotten

I just got one for $1.99
From Good Will. I love it when the pricers have no clue what USB 'POS' they're holding on to.

I just searched for the HP Ir Receiver 5188 but got the impression that they are not available anymore.
Can anybody give me a hint where a get a 5188 (or any appropriate replacement) that can be shipped to Europe?

I'm looking to purchase one of the HP receivers/IR blasters and good thing I came across this thread: didn't realize there were so many different revisions.

This remote bundle looks good but the seller won't ship internationally..

Has anyone purchased this bundle and confirmed it is a 5188-1667 receiver?

Just so people know the serial no. is only important if you using Linux. Any MCE receiver will do for Windows.

Didn't realize that, thanks for the tip. I thought the 5188-1667 version used different hardware as opposed to later revisions, which caused the lag issues with the Harmony One.
I think I might take a chance and purchase one from the seller leigh_munro posted.
While searching eBay I did come across the HP 5070-2584: http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-5070-2584-Media-Center-IR-Reciever-w-Blaster-Cable-/120723573656?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1baf8b98. Besides the HP logo and smaller appearance, is there any significant difference between the two?
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day everyone!

Could be true. I read a few weeks ago on this forum that it didn't matter with Windows. I ordered mine from China before reading that.

Hi folks, Just wanted to say that I did purchase the remote kit from the seller mentioned by leigh_munro (thanks for posting the auction leigh_munro) and did receive a 5188-1667 (rev B) receiver. The remote is 5069-8344 (rev A) if anyone is curious.

What's interesting is that on the label of the receiver I received, it says 5188-1667 (rev B). Although, as mentioned on post #53, Win7 recognized it as "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver". I'll be curious to see what Linux detects it as. Who knows, rev. B could have been something simple such as changing to a different shade of gray

Not sure if you're aware or not, but there is another thread about that remote/receiver kit: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=90600
