For those of you who don't have the time, tools, talent, or inclination to pick up a soldering pencil, and whose tuner cards didn't come with an IR port, there are a few small "cottage shops" online who sell IR transcievers they've assembled which will work quite well.
- IguanaWorks makes a very tidy little kit which has an exceptionally high-powered transmitter that you can buy from them unassembled or assembled (slightly more) for around $30USD. The signal from this can bounce off the far wall of my den and still control my VCR, and it's just stuffed into the serial port on the back of my case (I don't have line of sight on it) so apparently it's sensitive enough as well.
