 Hi,

 I have tried a few commercial products, and was given the tip that the best
 option is to build one :)

 Does anyone know where the components can be bought?

 I am talking about this diagram
 http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html

 If someone has a better diagram, with a place where to buy the components from
 I would be grateful.

 Locations around Rishon/Herzlia/Natanya are preferred :)

Hi,

Have you ? :)

I am looking for people not products :)

I rather buy something that someone here has and can tell me it works, than 
buy another product that doesn't.

I have a friend that has built a BUNCH of LIRC receivers. IIRC, he got
the parts at kashing(???) - Jerusalem, King George street - near the
bell-tower building (less than one block from Yaffo). Downstairs. They
have EVERYTHING.

  I've built the transmitters. I was able to buy a premade remote control,

  On the other hand, Office Depot has a Microsoft Optical keyboard and
  mouse for about 230 NIS. It plugs into a USB port and looks to the
  computer like a keyboard and mouse, as opposed to the more expensive
  wireless devices that look like a bluetooth dongle.

  For about the same price, you can get a cheap TV tuner with remote control
  and sensor.

  It depends upon what you want to use a real remote control.

  If you decide to use KnoppMyth, which I think is really nice, be aware the
  latest version has problems with some analog TV cards.

Usually you could get one receiver or transceiver with a PCI or USB encoder
device that you need to buy anyway.

I'm not sure where you can buy a transceiver, but its usually not so hard to
build one for your self :) check lirc website.
