you need a compatible RC6 IR receiver to pick up the remote control commands. Does not matter where you place this little device so long as you point the remote at it when you push the buttons.
There are a lot of IR receiver options out there but not just any will do. I chose to get the one that was absolutely known to work with all versions of XBMC. Picked it up on eBay for cheap.
Emitter/transmitter/receiver/transceiver USB device (HP P/N: 5188-1667)
Actually I bought a combo with remote, I have not fully figured out the Harmony setup so I have a remote that works in the mean time. Plus a backup remote if the Harmony breaks etc.
