[mythtv-users] Re: Homebrew IR Receivers

[martin north]

the componets I used (all from RS, http:rswww.com) and their RS product 
numbers are: 

IR Receiver: 267-8330
4.7uF Capacitor: 224-4319
Voltage Regulator: 189-1295
4k7 Resistor: 144-324
Diode: 446-8551 

plus some lengths of wire which i had lying around. 

when you solder it all together it ends up being about a cubic centimeter in 
size, which fits very nicely behind the plastic IR window in the front of my 
mini-itx case.
