My first pvrusb2 box was labeled at the top:
WinTV-PVR-USB2
personal video recorder

and at the bottom:
WinTV-PVR-USB2
model 941

This new pvrusb2 box is labeled at the top:
WinTV-PVR-USB2
personal video recorder
Media Center Kit

and at the bottom:
WinTV-PVR-USB2
model 99016

It looks like it is the same REV D2A3 as the one that Mike Isely
had to return because it would change to black and white.  So
far, I havn't had any problems after getting it configured with
Fedora Core 4 and kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 and atrpms
lirc-kmdl-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4smp-0.8.0-55.rhfc4.at and
lirc-0.8.0-55.rhfc4.at.

In addition to the lirc_i2c IR receiver on the pvrusb2,
it comes with the "beanbag" MCE USB SMK eHome Transceiver, blaster,
and a 44-button MCE RC-6 remote:

http://www.hauppauge.com/images/mce_remote_with_beanbag_large.jpg

So far as I know, there is no Linux support for the blaster.
I guess that the blaster will only work with WinXP MCE.

The USB SMK eHome Transceiver uses the lirc_mceusb2 driverr:

lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
lirc_mceusb2[3]: SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb2:3
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb2

You can use either the lirc_i2c with the pvrusb2 IR receiver,
or the lirc_mceusb2 with the USB SMK transceiver, or both
at the same time.  The "old" silver remote with the four colored
buttons works with both drivers.  I guess that the USB transceiver
could be attached to a different frontend computer while the pvrusb2
is connected to a backend computer in a different room.

I started with remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb from
lirc-0.8.0.tar.bz2, which is a Philips MCE remote,
and changed the button codes to match the ones in
pvrusb2-mci-20060121/misc/lircd.conf.  I renamed it to
hauppauge-mcekit.

If you want to be able to use both remotes, just append it:

cat lircd.conf.haupauge-mcekit >> /etc/lircd.conf

The MCE remote is missing these buttons:

GO
MENU
PREV
RED
GREEN
YELLOW
BLUE
RADIO

The MCE remote has these new buttons:

HOME (That big green button in the middle with a Windows logo on it)
MORE (has an "i" on the button like the "MENU" button on the silver remote)
RECORDED TV
DVD MENU
LIVE TV
CLEAR
ENTER

To replace the GO, MENU, and PREV buttons, I picked:

DVD MENU for MENU
ENTER    for GO
MORE     for PREV

I don't have a Media Center PC to test it with Windows MCE, but
with WinXP, the WinTV 2000 program does work with it.
