pix IR remote project allows you to remotely control console utilities via a TV remote control. It does not support all of the TV remotes out there, but should work with most of them. It features a utility to catch the TV remote's byte-codes (like the All-In-One TV-remotes) and a utility to output the commands sent by the remote as text to standard output. Applications for this software include system automation or remote control of an mp3 player.
