Anyone have any other sources for this product?

heh.
well not exactly.

A small dot of white 3M electrical tape over the receiver shield on the Xantech "dinky link" (480-00) is almost a bullet proof fix from my experiences...
Plus it still allows IR reception from any normal remotes 20+ feet away.

It still requires slight fiddling with placement, but I just came from a clients house where the 480-00 was located right on the front of the display... if you walk in front of it (1 foot or so), light from the display bounces off of your body and back onto the IR receiver, causing the LED to *dimly* glow... take the tape away and it's glowing all the time (unless of course the display isn't displaying much [black screen])

I'm serious, give it a try... I think you'll be surprised at the results.
