Hi hr21 if you check first post under wake up from remote section
a user links to this reciever as working with the wake on remote feature
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281730391461
and this remote
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141684830183
Its logical that the reciever is more important, as long as the remote communicates with it.
So I think any HP reciever like that with remotes included as a bundle would work.
so take a look at these

New HP RC1804929/01B remote control and HP Media Center MCE USB IR Receiver - £11.99 this one is both hp reciever and remote, so it looks good with a full hp setup? I think it does

except for the reciever to be working for this feature (confirmed by two users) the remotes are different! but like I said I think the reciever is the more important one, at the end of the day its not 100% though so its upto you to take the gamble over the maplin one that works.
if you do decide to buy one please report back on your findings so it can help other users. also note the reciever is alot bigger, but that might also mean it would be more sensitive to ir signals? better reception?
@ nogging, what do you think? do you think they would work?
