Re: IR Interference

Infrared remotes do not work on thousands of frequencies; basically they are all in the same infrared region. They are modulated with a frequency, which is usually 38KHz but 36KHz and 40KHz are also popular.

There are a lot of distinct key codes, but this assumes that your receiver isn't receiving interference from somebody else's remote while you're sending.
