Hmm, well honestly I haven't tried IR with the 24xxx hardware yet.  It's 
certainly possible that Hauppauge did something different with the IR.  I 
hope not, but...

Has anyone here gotten lirc working with 24xxx hardware?  I have both old 
and new hardware here, so I'll try to sort this out - but it will be a few 
days yet before I get a chance to try it.
