Jason,
(Sacrilege under a PIC header but -)
One possibility you might like to look  at is to switch to an AVR.
Then you can use BASCOM for programming & it includes RC5 functions
built-in. You can expand into assembler programming from there if
required. The demo version is free & I think should be adequate for
your needs. There may also be PIC based BASIC compilers that include
the required functionality but I don't know enough about PIC BASIC
compilers to advise.
