Hi, If you can program it's actually fairly easy to make your own solution; I wrote a web interface for my tv using a Raspberry Pi connected to our wireless network and a USB infrared transmitor. Unfortunately the project didn't receive approval so I wasn't allowed to put the Pi near enough to the TV to make it work, but from a code point of view it was just PHP to generate the interface & LIRC to send the IR signals. Setting it up got quite involved but the coding could comfortably be done in a day. FYI I used this http://www.iguanaworks.net/products/usb-ir-transceiver/ transmitor although it was a while ago so other, more cost effective options may be available.
