I use my iPhone to control my Quicksilver from my couch. I have a few
different apps that allow me to see whats on the screen as well as
type in text and mouse around.

No idea about the IR I'm afraid, but how about using screen sharing
(can be enabled on tiger by ticking the "apple remote desktop" box
in the sharing bit of system prefs, tis built into leopard I
think), that way you could use the MacBook (or other laptop, or
iPhone, or anything that'll run VNC) to control the quicksilver?
OR, a Bluetooth USB dongle and find a keyboard/mouse you like?

I have a dual-800 Quicksilver which I'm using mostly as a media
center. Which means I am forever hauling a mouse and keyboard across
the room to change channels, adjust volume, and so forth. What I
would like to do (since I know the Quicksilver doesn't have a
built-in
IR port) is to add one, so that I can use the Apple Remote that came
with my MacBook. Is this possible? Is it even advisable? I'd also
be willing to do this via RF, but would prefer to keep whatever
device
I use as small as possible, which leaves out all of the huge
multimedia keyboards I've seen on sale. Anybody know of a device
that's much smaller to do the trick?
Thanks for your time.
