I may be mistaken, but I beleive that VCR Plus will do this.  RCA has a new
VCR out with VCR Plus and an emitter that faces up through the top of the VCR 
so that it can control your cable box.  You just position your cable box on top
or above the VCR so that it can "see" the emitted signal.  There's a review of
this VCR in this months Video magazine.
