   What part of "They don't warn  you till it's too late" didn't you   
   understand?   
   Peter is also correct when he says "and they pick up loads of other crap"   
      
   It won't work, forget it. The commercial ones are sold to a gullible public   
   who want to believe such a thing can actually work.   
      
   And just to answer your question, no, you cannot use the 3 pin type IR   
   receiver. They have a 38KHz bandpass filter, and hence will reject   
   everything else.
