I posted a similar question in Tweaks/DIY recently - any help?

I am looking for advice on how to build or buy the necessary parts to extend IR remote capability for several audio/video components. I am constructing a dedicated room and my gear will reside on a rack in a closet adjacent to the room. I will not have line of sight to the remote controlled gear (especially when the closet door is closed) and am looking for a way to extend the remote capabilities of all (or at least most of) the components without spending an arm and a leg. DIY is an acceptable and almost preferred route.
I didn’t find a lot in the AA archives, though I may not have been using the best keywords. Doing a net search I did find this:

http://www.mitedu.freeserve.co.uk/Circuits/Interface/irext2.htm

Here are my questions:

1. Has anyone built this or anything like it?
2. Would this be likely to work with most typical audio and video pieces (do most use the same modulation frequency)?
3. What might be alternate approaches or other ideas?

TIA for any help!

Rick
