hi soldering iron fans.
i have an old panasonic TU-SD200 analogue receiver which is still in use on 5W for ye olde analogue french channels. i use it once in a blue moon, and mostly it sits there drawing unecessary power getting fairly hot (i've already repalced the PSU capacitors once to keep it alive), so hot, all its rubber feet have melted and made a sticky mess. when powered off i'd like the whole PSU stage to be put to sleep, and hence LNB off too (as it is its on 100% of the time even in standby). i plan to add a secondary lower power psu just for turn on/turn off via IR and some relay combination. i haven't set to search the web in its deepest darkest parts yet - does anyone know of a simple kit that can power on/off devices via IR, which I can maybe butcher and incorporate into the receiver?
cheers - cts
