AVR350 IR receiver

[clockworks]

The built-in IR receiver on my AVR350 has a fairly narrow operating angle. Where it's situated, I have to aim my Harmony universal remote accurately, or it won't respond.
Is it possible to add a fairly cheap IR receiver to the sockets on the back? I could then put the external receiver on top of the rack. DIY isn't a problem, as long as the parts are available from Maplin.

It sure is, but you dont even have to connect them to the back

This one works a treat, and does your sky box and a third box if required.

And its only a tenner

I've ordered one of those - I'll give it a try. Can't really lose for a tenner.
