I have a usb adapter and it does show up in System Profiler but I can't get it to work with the remote. Don't know what application to use that will link up the adapter with the remote.
The only I think that works well is by this company called TwistedMelon. They have IrDA usb adapter and Mira software that lets you use Apple Remote. |

Does the mira software not work for you?

mira wouldn't work for me I have a media center reciever and another usb ir reciever.
And mira can't see them , the os sees them but not mira. remote buddy software sees more recievers. |

so I guess the answer is buy from twisted melon, not the cheapest solution though, have to look into compatible infra recievers some more I think

Found a cheaper solution
I bought a bluetooth adapter for my pc and by accident found my sony erricson phone has the ability to be used as a remote, works great. |

Not bad but I'll stick with using my phone, it acts as a joystick for mouse as well as basic keyboard keys

it must be a eHome compatible IR receiver, like the Media Center 2005 receivers. Receivers from Media Center 2003 don't work. I have 4 different ones, all working.

ATI Remote wondre
I have 2 ATI remote wonder USB remotes here, I got them with 2 Ati tv tuner cards. they work better on OS X then in windows. you can launch programs, use as a mouse and they work with front row. You can get Mac drivers from their web site. you can buy the remotes from ATI.
