Beware of any of these products when using a cable box or satellite
receiver. I bought a "Hidden IR" system from Smarthome last year and
found out that my cable remote used a 56 kHz subcarrier which was higher
than the frequency response of the "Hidden IR" system. Ultimately I was
able to exchange for different hardware that worked, but the
incompatibility was not well advertised in the marketing by Smarthome
and I spent several days trying to figure out why the cable remote only
worked in a narrow angle from the IR pick up.

Thanks for the caveat!

Looking at the pricing, it seems high enough to entice _even_me_ to
roll my own ;-)

Or just chuck it all, put a nice bottle of wine on the table and play a
card game ;-)
