How hard would it be to build your own? Is there a "programmable, one unit imitates anything" one of these on the market? (Hmmmm, new product idea....) My cable decoder, TV and VCR all have infrared remote and I think it would be fun to build something capable of controlling all three. -- Edward C. Bennett ihnp4!cbosgd!ukma!edward "Goodnight M.A."
