Well, yeah, that seems obvious in retrospect...  Maybe when everybody 
has a digital TV with built-in guides, etc (or even better - Java) but 
until then 'cable' TV service is pretty well dependent on a controller 
of some sort and IR remotes enforce locality.

I'll still dream of a controller in the basement with 802.11 remotes 
though. :)
