Here is the info on the mcekit that I got in Feb, 2006.

The built-in IR receiver on the MCEKit WinTV-PVR-USB2 works with the
remote that comes with the regular WinTV-PVR-USB2 (I have both).

The outboard beanbag usb transceiver both receives and transmits with
the lirc_mceusb2 module and the MCE remote.  I think you need lirc-0.8.2
to use the IR-Blaster with lirc_mceusb2.
