I guess it was 1.4.1 something? My remote is from a Satelco DVB-C card. It's recognized as normal HID device (cypress mouse, keyboard, mouse).

You could try 1.4.2 RC1 he has updated the Custom HID driver and added support for several new recivers and improved girder plugin and WinLirc support. It looks like you actually have a Cypress chip in your receiver but I couldn't find much info on getting those to work with any of the IR apps so I'm not sure which plugin would be your best bet, but I'm guessing it will work with your remote just might take some fiddling.

If Custom HID doesn't work try glancing over this thread and on page 2 there should be a link to a file called Debug.zip get it and run the Custom HID Receiver.exe hit ok and then press buttons on your remote if they come up you can probably have and-81 write up a plugin for your remote. ?While your at it try some other remotes as well if the buttons on those register too then the plugin might be able to recieve from a variety of remotes.

Could you please post a link to the thread?
I've tested now my usb remote and the apple remote on my mac mini (XP) with 1.4.2 RC1 but both doesn't work with the suite.
Charly's MCE v2 works really well with it and his new implementation in XBMC.
