IR remote control sensor and emitter

[Wes]

I have a Dish 508 PVR and inside the house the combo IR / UHF remote works fine. Garage,
which is detatched, is a bridge too far.

I've got extra utp run to the garage so the idea of building a circuit that I can point my
remote at and pick up the IR command and send it to the house where the reciever is sounds
like a usefull project that I will learn something from.

I'm obviously going to need a IR led but I have no idea of what photosensor for the other
side.

Pointers to commonly used led's and sensors used in this application is what I'm seeking.

Thanks,

Wes

You're always welcome, Wes. You have my e-mail, if you have other
questions. I've had to take a break from RCM and several other
newsgroups in an attempt to catch up with my 'Computers for Veterans'
project but I try to find time to answer e-mail.

I've notice dyou have not been around much lately. Where are you getting the machines you
are refurbing or just making right once again?
