I'm now thinking of other projects since I'm going to have the hardware and software to create with.

Using PicBasic and a minimal amount of external hardware would it be possible to make a "repeater"? In this case, the repeater would:

- record an IR signature (a single button a TV remote control for example)
- transmit the recorded signal every 10 seconds for 10 minutes then stop.
- accept another signal and do it all again.

- Recording to be started by pushing a button or push and hold the button.
- LED indicators for recording and transmitting (for testing only)

I'm thinking, with my limited knowledge, this shouldn't be that bad. Would need to record the number and length of a pulse and store it then just play it back.

This device could be used, for example. as a practical joke that always turned the TV back to a specific channel. No real practical purpose, just more learning experience.
