I'm wondering if it's possible to control home theater systems with a single remote control. I'm aware there are IR Systems available but I'd prefer to use a wireless system, if possible.
Ideally, I'm looking to activate the appropriate HT components and configure each component to the correct settings, based on a scene type, with a single click if a button. For example, Movies scenes would activate the TV, HTPC (XBMC) and HT Receiver while the standard TV scene activates TV, Cable Box/DVR.
Currently, here are the components in my system:
Are there scripting languages available that are compatible with HT Receivers, XBMC and DVR? Where can I find the programming codes for the various equipment? Are additional components needed?
Any assistance/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Currently, here are the components in my system:
- TV: Samsung HDTV
- XBMC: Windows 7, 32bit
- HT Receiver: Yamaha RX-V367
- DishTV/DVR:VIP722K DVR
