I now have remotes for EVERYTHING that uses IR remote in my house working flawlessly. thanks to Qtirreco
Go to http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes to find remote files for your device.
Then read last 5 or so pages of
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37655
to learn how to use them. Esp Cue's posts.

The only thing that's not that great is the range of the IR.
