Hi there,
I'm posting here because I have the exact same experience as bogchop.
I only have Xbox 360 remotes, but anyway, the result is the same.
I have a d34010wyk.
I tried with bios 0.24 and 0.25. same issue, does not work after openelec install and loaded drivers.
The strange thing is on the openelec forum, some nucs seems to work. This is very strange.
I'm dealing with it for days now and I cannot find a clue but it's the CIR witch is not responding after an openelec shutdown.
If someone at Intel can manage this by a bios update, it will be realy appreciated.
