USB IR Receiver Rasplex

I'm using Rasplex on my Raspberry Pi B-model, unfortunately my bedroom TV doesn't HDMI CEC. Nowadays i control Rasplex with the iOS app  but because of the input lag the response is a bit slow.

I would like to use my Logitech Harmony to control TV/Rasplex, but the Raspberry Pi doesn't have an IR receiver.

 

Does anyone know which (USB) IR reciever is compatible with Rasplex/Raspberry Pi?

I had been using this remote with OpenElec- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00224ZDFY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just tried Rasplex last night for this first time, and confirmed it also works fine.

I have been using Flirc http://flirc.tv/.  I really like it.  Just check out the forums on the Flirc website for harmony remote set up.  It is really easy.

I am using an old Microsoft MCE remote with the USB receiver that came with it on Rasplex 0.1.36 version with a RPi Model-B. It works out of the box without having to configure anything.
