Remote Control for USB Device

I bought a USB TV device (Diamond). I hated the chintzy remote that came
with it, so I bought a "Learning" Remote control at Radio Shack.

The USB device still doesn't respond, even though I am sure I have done it
correctly.

Should I expect it to work, and try another brand of remote, or am I somehow
wasting my time?

Thanks for any help.

P.S., Yes, I am sure that they're both IR, not RF or something like that.

Thanks.

Learning remote should work... It's not likely that the USB reciever uses
some obscure IR.
