IR remote control sensor and emitter

I have a Dish 508 PVR and inside the house the combo IR / UHF remote works fine. Garage, which is detatched, is a bridge too far.

I've got extra utp run to the garage so the idea of building a circuit that I can point my remote at and pick up the IR command and send it to the house where the reciever is sounds like a usefull project that I will learn something from.

I'm obviously going to need a IR led but I have no idea of what photosensor for the other side.

Pointers to commonly used led's and sensors used in this application is what I'm seeking.

Thanks,

Wes

You're always welcome, Wes. You have my e-mail, if you have other questions. I've had to take a break from RCM and several other newsgroups in an attempt to catch up with my 'Computers for Veterans' project but I try to find time to answer e-mail.

I still have one thrift store collecting them for me. One of the others went out of business, and the other got mad at me last year when my old Ranger quit for the last time. The computer stores that were donating had someone show up to buy their junk. One mobile home park, and a Catholic Church set aside the computers they get for their annual yard sales. The donations are way down, and a lot lower quality than a few years ago so I am trying to cull the junk right now, rather than finishing complete systems. I need to build two more workbenches (#11 & #12) but I don't have the room to set them up till the junk is stripped & recycled.

Someone on RCM promised to ship me a pallet of used XP computers, but it never happened.
