anyone know of a remote control receiver that can be purchased sans-remote 
that works with lirc and can receive a wide range of IR remote frequency's? I 
already own an MX-500 and URC remote that I want to use, and I can set them 
to use any number of devices, I just want to get a IR receiver that will work 
that doesn't cost $40 like the Streamzap.

Thanks!
Steve
