A customer's comments:

I bought a usb transceiver a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I am using it to control my laptop, and my laptop as a universal remote for my media center.

Here is a sample script for use with  AutoHotKey +  WinLIRC that I am using for control if you would like to play with it  http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=414510
