TVs generally use IR signals.  It's common to use a PC running something
like Girder to handle listening for and sending commands to IR devices.
Other systems like a GlobalCache could also be used.  But nothing exists
that's cheap or easy to configure.

Fans, on the other hand, tend to use RF signals and I'm not aware of any PC
controllers that know how to speak to them.  They tend to be proprietary to
the maker of the fan or the remote add-on.
