armine,
It might be easier to list what devices users have tried that are not compatible. The USB-UIRT is compatible with most all remotes and IR devices. Only some B&O devices come to mind as not compatible as they use a different IR frequency (from dim memory).
I've used one in the past. I've used quite a few remotes on it with no issues. It receives from 38 - 56 KHz, but only transmits at 38 KHz (though I doubt you need transmit in this case).
I'll look up exactly what remotes I have. I do know that there was one remote I had that did give me some problems (and still does).
