You will be able to use it, but I wouldn't use it around anyone else. It generates too much noise and causes all kinds of problems with other nearby equipment. And I don't care what type you have, your IR will not be enough to kill the signals you'll pick up from it.
If you can keep a bit of distance between you and others it will work fine, but get close to someone else and you'll hear them start to grumble and either move away from you or ask you to move. You on the other hand will have no problem.
Trust me, I know first hand as do some others one here
