I have this remote http://s3.amazonaws.com/wootsaleimages/Philips_Icon_5_Device_Universal_RemotelqsDetail.jp g

it is programmable by pointing your old remote at the bottom of it and setting each key which is great for tvs that are picky about those codes

so i want to use this remote with my pc so I figure I need an IR receiver, but I wouldnt know how to program the remote.

could i just buy one of these and just program my philips remote from the one that comes with it or is it different IR standards?
