Actually, if you have the old (I mean really old) tv remote control that uses a sound to change the channel (the actual reason people started calling the remote a "clicker"), that could work over the phone.

this is true. a lot of newer phones have IrDA interface on them, someone wrote an App for symbian OS that you load on the phone, and it turns the screen into a universal remote, which beams out through the phones IrDa port.
