If you are the DIY types and dont mind exprimenting...check out www.lirc.org it's essentially a GNU/Linux thingie but there are ports to other operating systems. The Windows port is at http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/ you can set it up to run with any IR remote!
I use the Hauppage Remote which came with the WINTV PVR2 for my HTPC and basic computer control. Just tweaked the .INI file of the SAGE HTPC frontend software to add additional functionality.
