Hello.
I did read adding a CIR transmitter for Pandora could be cheap and simple. Pandora already has three UART ports so using one for this could be possible. This small addition could be quite nice, at least until recently univeral tv remote controllers with LCD screens were expensive in an absurd way.

The Game Boy Color also featured an infrared communications port for wireless linking.
There was a game for Game Boy Color called Mission: Impossible that had an option for tv remote.
There are apps for tv remotes for PDAs and adapters too, but avoid the need of extra hardware could be nice.

LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls.

There are quite simple schematics that only require a small PIC and some of them even just discrete components.
Regards.
