IR remote control of owl screen

In the past I've had my electric screen operated by either power from the projector or the AV amp. This isn't practical any more as my new projector doesn't have an external trigger and the AV amp is now used together with a plasma screen.

I've found plenty of RF operated switches, what I need is an infra red version that I can operate from my universal remote control.

This must be a really simple request but can't find one anywhere.

Any ideas?

I used to use X10 to control my owl screen - you'll need one of these and one of these

Thanks for that. I didn't realiseyou could convert IR to X10. I was hoping though that there would be a one box solution

X10 would probably be OK if I used X10 elsewhere in the house.

Anyone else do anything different.

Theres no need to use x10 throughout the house you could just use it for this 1 purpose but the main thing is if you ever wanted to add more its easy i would think if you go any other route your likelyto be paying x10 times more (get it x10, ten times more, no oh well forget it dont know why i bother).
