Mine have an RF port on them, they are at almost 4 years old. They are  
obviously NOT HDTV, but they do support 16:9 programs and TVs.

The YES remote control codes are available for  LIRC, and you can  
build a transmitter from an IR LED, a resistor and an old serial  
cable. Worked fine for me.
I bought mine at Kasyahoff in Jersualem, someone else on this list  
bought theirs in Ramat Gan.
