I think you can capture infrared codes from remote controller. Than you could use this codes to rule TV from your phone.
It's not a hard job but you needed to know some irDA programming on your cellular phone. AFAIK it's similar to COM/Serial programming. You can find billions of example/tutorial on the net.

I believe irda programming is same as com port programming at linux. A phone SDK will let you understand that.
I don't know any high level phone that have IRDA interface. My T630 has irda but it's signal cannot read by TV because it's too weak...
TV's /var/log/messages is not raw IRDA messages, so they are not useful for you. It's easy that capturing IR signals from remote with a phone with IRDA interface and accepting programs that written by you.
Also you can play with some micro-controllers like Arduino. They could easily emulate infreared remote, could capture signals for you. There is much tutorials for arduino devices but you needed to be familiar with electronic circuits.
You can also find already build program for emulating TV remotes on the phone. I believe there is some programs exists. Just find a phone that supports apps and IRDA.

The codes for the remote have already been published in this forum. The file names are remoconfig.info and key config.info and they can be found (on B650) in mtd_exe/InfoLink/lib

Is it possible to change those files in order to remap certain Remote Control buttons:
1. Direct SRC (eg. HDMI1)
2. PIP
3. Aspect Ratio
4. Audio Mode
5. Video Mode

I think mtd_exe will not be a writeable area.
What you want is most easily achieved using a programmable remote, including the new Remote Control app. posted in Software section.
