I like the sound of a homebrew reciever. I have a bunch of IR LED
recievers and I want to make use of them. Is it a simple enough circuit?
Do you have details available? I don't want to go down the boring route of
just buying a pre-made reciever if can help it! I wouldn't be messing with
MythTV (or linux for that matter) if I wanted the easy option!
