As mentioned before here, if you're handy at all with a soldering iron
(or if you don't mind burning your fingers a couple of times, but want

I use the simple interface, and it works great.  Had to set my IRD to
channel 6 or 9 (can't remember) to get it to work reliably.. but have
not missed a channel in 2 years.  Using a 4700 here, but have tested
with a 3100 as well.
