Also I just chanced across this Sparkfun IOIO but the programming looks like hard work.

Hello,
That looks like NEC Extended Protocol developed by NEC Electronics. I have just made a transmitter to operate the shutter on my camera which is controled by this IR protocol, it took age's to figure it out!!
