Couldn't you solve that with a multi remote that can handle macros?
I would rather not have to purchase any more equipment. I have the same htpc remote at every TV in the house. The idea is for every location to work exactly the same button wise, much easier for the wife. I know the ir transmitters can do what I want. The only problem lies in the XBMC code. When I call the built in LIRC.irsend commands it causes XBMC to crash.
I use irexec for this. This is what I have in my /etc/lirc/lircrc
begin
prog = irexec
remote = mceusb
button = Power
config = tvzap ON
end
"tvzap" is a script that calls irsend in the appropriate sequence to turn on/off my TV.
