Here is a posting from net.analog about the GE Remote; moved over here
for completeness' sake.

   While I was working at General Electric C.R.&D. a friend of mine developed
an infrared remote control which mimics other infrared remote controls.  To
program it, you point the 2 remote controls at each other, push a key on the 
programmable version, and then a key on the no-programmable remote control.
Now those two keys are equivalent (they both emit the same infrared code).
Once the entire no-programmable remote control keyboard is 'stored' in the
programmable version, you can then place it in its 2nd mode, and procede to
mimic your next remote control.

   I can't remember how many remote controls it can mimic at once, nor can
I remember how many keys are on the programmable control.

   This is now a product which is sold by General Electric.  I have yet to
find a store which sells it (the price is approx. $170), but I have seen 
ads for it, and talk of it in magazines.  I believe there was mention of it
in 'Stereo Review' in an article of new products.  Possibly other USENET
contacts will let you find one.
