Yes. Any IR USB receiver will work with a Harmony remote.

The e-bay version may have a better chance of supporting separate power on / power off commands based on my experience with both.

The one you linked to on Ebay is the one I bought at the recommendation of Assassin. He knows his stuff. Go with that one. I haven't built my htpc yet but I would still go with that one.

The ebay unit is the one I use with my Harmony One and several other remotes. Check around on ebay. You should be able to find one for a lot less. In fact, you can usually get the HP remote and receiver as a combo for around $10-12.

Better safe than sorry IMO. You could take a chance on just a receiver that might be in the harmony database. But if you get a receiver and remote, you can always teach harmony if you need to.
