[mythtv-users] TiVo remote... what receiver?

[Cedar McKay]

I had good luck building my own receiver. Works really really well. 
Never misses a keypress. And it was surprisingly easy. It would have 
taken 15 minutes to solder together if I hadn't insisted on fitting the 
whole circuit inside a DB9 connector. As is, it only took me 90 minutes 
and now I have a sweet receiver that is tiny. I got all my parts from 
radioshack, including the actual ir sensor which has a new part number, 
so be persistent (they will tell you they don't have it). If you need a 
comprehensive parts list I could dig that up for you when I get home 
from work.

good luck,


cedar
