Check this out, it is the best tutorial on remotes that I have found. I use his library for all my IR remote projects.

IR can be a pain in system programming where the IR signal must be polled via function - main sketch or library.

In designing an airplane engine monitor, I found it easier to do IR with a dedicated tiny85 and poass pass the results to a physical serial port on the main uC where Serial.available() can be quickly polled in loop() and the main functions of the Arduino are dedicated to non-IR stuff.
