Possible to use DirecTV Remote?

So the only thing that I'm missing at the moment for the boxee that I'm building, is a remote, and I wanted to know if it would be possible to use the IR DirecTV Remote, that came with the DirecTV when we purchased it? I was looking at LIRC for IR working with linux, and it showed the remote that we have, so I don't know if that means it will work or not?

Also, is there any other method of setting up a remote besides using LIRC? Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm running boxee off of a linux machine.

Is the Dtv remote a learning remote? I never tried because I hate he layouto f it. If it is, you could teach it IR commands from a known working remote. That is what I'm doing now.

I have directv and boxee but I use a Universal Learning remote for everything. It has learned all the dtv commands and then I taught it all the MCE remote commands for boxee. Works nice.

Ok, that's what I figured would be the issue.

I installed boxee on a Ubuntu machine that's on an old Dell Machine, but when i opened boxee for the first time, everything was lagging really bad? I thought if I could put this video card in, it would be good, but found out later that this PC doesn't have PCIe x16 :(.

Can boxee run on older machines? I mean it's got like 512MB of RAM I think.

Thanks again!
