2. Soundgraph IMon Knob: External USB Receiver

The receiver module for the iMON Knob appears to consist of a small plastic box containing an IR receiver that you can hook up to a desktop or notebook through any open USB port. Once the device establishes communications with the PC, it illuminates an iridescent blue light. The receiver module also provides a volume control as well.
Things are a bit simpler with the large remote control unit, which you can also use to drive multimedia software on your PC. This software is part and parcel of the retail package, and can fill the same role as Microsoft MCE.

The receiver module plugs into any free USB port
