This unit may be more to your liking if you don't want to have the pyramid receiver visible.

There are a lot of options here.

I use this http://www.smarthome.com/8197.html . The one I actually got was slightly different unit off eBay for cheap.

More reliable than those pyramids I used.

I agree that wired units are more reliable, but the OP doesn't want a receiver sitting next to the TV. I use an older Radio Shack version to control my DSR6000 that is in the basement.
