Which USB IR Receiver is compatible with URC/JP1 remotes

Sorry if this question is unclear- I have been away from the JP1 scene for awhile. I have an old 15-1994 and a modified URC-6131 Extended JP1 remote(bought from Rob) and JP1 serial cable from years ago. I want to possibly use the 6131 with a new HTPC Win7 build I finished, and need to buy a usb IR receiver with IR blasters(to control my other AV components) for the PC. My question is if a standard MCE RC6 IR Receiver will work with the 6131, if anybody out there has experience with this.

Before I buy one off fleabay, I want to make sure I get a compatible receiver.

Thanks,
Michael

Don't know of any in particular that aren't compatible. If it's IR, generally JP1 can handle it. In any case, HERE's one I use that works just fine with THIS upgrade. It even has a mouse. But no blasters like you are looking for.
