PROJECT 18Remote Control Hijacker

THIS FUN PROJECT lets you take control away from the person holding the remote control by intercepting the invisible signals as they travel through the air so you can play them back to the TV or video machine. You can also “train” your remote hijacker by recording certain button presses directly from the remote so that you can play them back later on, taking total control over the target appliance. Because this project records the remote control pulse stream directly, it will work on any infrared-based remote control, able to learn a few button presses.
