What is this IR-type-y board doing inside of my set-top-box?

Why would that function need a receiver?

Regular IR remote for the set top box, setup to have spacing between each "burst" of the code for the button you're pushing, that includes power, volume up/down and tv power buttons.  You configure what TV you have in the set top box menu, so volume and tv power on button trigger the set top box to transmit the correct codes for volume up/down/power for the TV between the bursts  of the incoming code.
I know HDMI has CEC to handle this kind of functionality, but I haven't seen that working very well between different brands of devices. But then again, I haven't bought a tV in 8-9 years, so maybe CEC over HDMI has improved.

It's a file sharing site, if it didn't have some kind of virus uploaded at some point I'd be surprised!

Well, if it *is* spam, it is exceptionally well tailored spam.
I also klicked on the embedded image, expecting it to be embedded from imgur. Only when i saw the loading animation i closed the new tab before it finished loading. Then i noticed the URL...
That, combined with the username, the fact that the OP is a new account and has not posted again makes it quite likely to really be spam...
