Video/audio switch matrix for you home theater system?

I vaguely recall there being an article in Circuit Cellar from about
a decade ago which used an 8051?? to interpret the IR commands sent
by a standard Sony remote, and control a video/audio multiplexer for the
home.
Time for the updated PIC version with component/composite/Y-C/surround
sound capability.
(Or just buy the Philips one at Walmart <G> for $40.).
