I thought I would share my home-brew IR Extender that I built for the Tivo!

Basically I am using 1 Tivo for two rooms. I bought some out-of-the-box IR Extenders but they all were junk. So I decided that I would attempt to make my own.

This IR extender uses a micro-controller (Arduino) that captures what buttons are being pressed on the remote, then sends the signal to the Tivo using the network.

Pictures/all the details can be found on the link below:

Hope this will help someone else too.

That is really neat - I just started playing with Arduino recently, and this is an idea I haven't seen elsewhere. Thanks! :)
