Seeing as MCE remotes work great with XBMC and rupert said it works with an MCE remote, and my Harmony is set up as an MCE remote, via the transitive property I believe it should work.

I ended up buying one of these USB receivers to replace the Hauppague PVR150 I had been using just for its remote.
It works with the lirc lirc_mceusb driver with no problems, with the Harmony set to Microsoft Windows Media Center configuration.
Just because I am lazy and didn't want to fixup the parts of lircmap that had different names, I decided to just use the same lircd.conf from the PVR150 and leave my Harmony set up as a PVR150 device. Good news, it worked too, which surprised me because the PVR150 is a RC5 remote and the MCE is an RC6.
It also had an LED on it that blinks any time I press a button on any remote I own, so I assume this will "catch" any remote code you throw at it.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Four years later, I would need to know specifications of the usb ir receiver in object, since I want to buy a universal (e.g., rc-5 or rc-6) receiver as well.
Anybody who originally posted here is listening, please?
Or anybody having indications for cheap universal usb ir receiver?
