Or you could try going to your local Radio Shack
and picking up some 1N4001 diodes and make it
yourself.
I've never tried it, but it sounds like a cheaper
way to experiment.

I've used this method successfully before, when inter-mixing Xantech, Niles Audio, Crestron, and Channel Plus IR components.
However, for it to work, the different systems must be "electrically compatible". *Most* are, but some aren't -- it will depend on the brands you're using...
