I don't think this is likely.  Hauppauge has been unofficially talking 
to me about stuff like this.  But read on...

Which driver version are you using and where did it come from?  I ask 
because IR support for 24xxx devices didn't work until fairly recently.  
The released in-kernel driver (2.6.18 and 2.6.19) don't have this 
support because the needed changes didn't get merged until the 2.6.20 
merge window.  The current v4l-dvb repository has the changes, and the 
last few standalone pvrusb2 drivers (see the change history) has support 
for 24xxx IR.
