General Electric makes what is probably just what you need.
It's an intelligent infrared remote controller which can
"watch" and "learn" the control sequences transmitted by
most other IR remotes on the market.  It's not much larger
than many existing IR remotes.  Now, if they could only 
give it a timer and a calendar and a larger memory, you
wouldn't need a programmable VCR...

For more info, see a recent issue of "Video" and/or
"Video Review" magazines, one or both of which had articles
about the GE remote controller.  From ads in both magazines,
it appears that the list price of the gadget is about $200.
