No need to buy the FLIRC now. Presumably you have an Android or iOS device you could use as a temporary remote?
And you may find your TV remove remote just works through CEC.
Only issue is my son, don't trust him to use our phones :-(
CEC may be an option have to check if the TV supports this. I think it does but i disabled it as i caused me loads of issues getting everything running correctly via the AV amp.
If you're in the UK and have Sky HD you may also have disabled CEC. (I have). The Sky HD boxes got an upgrade a while back which uses CEC to switch TVs to the right input when you hit the Sky button. But our Sony TV then sends TV remote instructions to the Sky box (which it ignores) rather than interpreting them in the TV. Which is REALLY annoying...
