To transfer the pulse coding of a remote control at one site to
another learnable type remote control maybe the other side of the

Can anyone think of a method that uses off the shelf equipment used
in a domestic environment , ie not using oscilloscopes etc.
Somehow slowing the pulse stream down enough to capture on
cam-corder/pc etc.
Would the average r/c with say a 400 KHz ceramic resonator still
function with the 400KHz one replaced with 100KHz one say.?

Maybe not a solution in your situation, but Logitech Harmony remotes might
suffice. You can 'teach' a device that you have in one location, and the
same device can be uploaded (via the interwebnet thingy) in another
location.

Maybe I'm missing something important about the problem, but I use a
program called OmniRemote Pro....which is designed for Palm OS
hand-helds. Basically, it turns any Palm OS PDA with IR (all, as far as
I know) into a programmable, "learning," IR remote control. There are
many, many other software solutions that do the same thing for other
OSs (WinCE, Linux, Mac) and other hardware. There are also, on-line,
several databases of IR pulse codes for many consumer devices...from TV
receivers to air conditioners.
