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
