As far as i've read, the IR-Receiver only works with Remotes speaking 
the RC5-Protocol, and this one is mainly used by Philips. (Correct me 
when I'm wrong on this.)

Fortunatly I've got a universal remote (Philips SBC Ru 540, bought by 
"Quelle", about 15€) that does the job quite well.
Still too few buttons (I count 30 + a Shift key), but a very good start.

I'm sure any other universal remote can also send the RC5-commands...
