Mmmmh, I do not know if this will help you: I use lirc for repeating remote 
control commands over TCP/IP. 
lircd --connect=foo:1234 on the vdr box and
lircd --listen=1234 on the other box. 
It is working quite well with several different remotes.

For really remote "remote control" I just used telnet (and that not often ;-)
