    You can purchase the remote online using MCE without it will become very tiresome.

    I thought Hauppauge shipped MCE compatible remote's with some of their tuners I guess not in your case.

    I think setting up MCE without having the IR Blaster & remote is possible (in fact I think I recall doing it once) but I am not so sure about it if you are getting the TV signal from an STB (set top box) like Sky as I think in that case you need it to complete the setup.
