  I'm currently using a homebrew ir reciever on my mythbox.  I'm thinking about adding the ir transmitter option to it to control several of my other, more dumb devices.

    It hought it would be really cool to have a single transmitter that I place generally in front of all the equipment, maybe 5ft away and have it control everything...  is this possible?  Has anyone done it?  I don't know how directional the IR blasters are I'm wondering also if there's a way to boost the power so it doesn't need to be aimed directly, etc.  Would a radio shack ir transmitter be acceptable?  I got all the rest of the makings at radio shack. 

  Thanks,
  -Greg
