Thanks for the circuit. What I wanted to know is whether this headset jack output style will work when plugging it into the remote control port of my TV Tuner. It is a Winfast TV2000 standard.

I guess it all depends on the circuitry inside the Winfast TV2000 whether you could use the TSOP1736 as the source. I am almost certain you will not be able to receive data from the the IR port on the card using audio alsa though as it would not present it self to the system as a sound card. But that shouldn't matter since the Winfast TV2000 uses the BT878 chip, and it has a GPIO register which can be read which will have the scan codes from the IR port. You can use the LIRC 'lirc_gpio' driver to do this.

I just realize that CD-in can be used as IR receiver line... Thanks :)
