You can easily build a good IR Receiver yourself for approx. 1€. All you need is this tiny receiver called tsop something and 3 cables. just search for "GPIO IR TSOP Raspberry Pi" or so online and you should come up with some good articles. this one connects directly to the GPIO Port which is great for me because you don't have to "waste" a USB Port.

Please excuse the cable mess
