Hi,
I am not at home so I do not have access to MC help to see which IR receivers are supported. I checked the help files linked on the MC home page, which I suspect are out of date, and the hauppauge IR receiver is not listed as a supported receiver. Check out the help files of your version and see if it has been added. If it is not supported then I am guessing that you will not get it to work.

I'm curious to know how well the haupphage works too, i recall reading it does its encoding & decoding all in hardware.
The hauppuage does indeed do hardware encoding. CPU usage while encoding is pretty much zero.
The 150 does no decoding whatsoever! Only the hauppauge 350 is capable of both encoding and decoding. From all the bad stuff I have read about the 350 I would stay away from it.
I use the hauppauge dual tuner pvr500mce myself (just two 150's on the same card) and I have been very happy with it.
