Welcome aboard. I moved the thread to a location it will likely get more attention.

 

One method would be to use a microcontroller to receive and decode the IR signal and use the micrcontroller to "drive" a digital potentiometer.

You'll need to decide which protocol to use. The most common protocols are SIRC and RC5.

Go through these links for IR protocols:
