Re: compatible USB reciever? Please help!

[Shawn L. <co...@en...>]

I'm looking for remote control convergence, and if I'm to use my Radio
Shack 8-in-1 remote I'm gonna need a workable IR.

Next, I'm trying the Tira. Anyone have specifica experience with the Tira
USB with universals from Radio shack?
