Mmmh, you could use a multi-remote which can handle 6 devices. For every
device you take a own set of IR-commands.

Then you start VDR six times with the remote-plugin from Oliver Endress
and learn each VDR instance to one set of IR-codes. This way you can
simply select the VDR you want to control by selecting the device on the
multi-remote.
