For a cheap and functional alternative look at the powermid IR transmitter/receiver. I have a UK RU950 and the RF receiver/IR transmitter part work perfectly with RF from my pronto. Obviously you use the ability to address several different one individually and you loose the facility of having multiple IR emitter wands but if all the equipment you want to control is in one location it works. I picked up just the part I needed (not the full pair just the receiver) on Ebay for a tenner.

Also if you have any RF equipment using the right frequency it MAY be possible to learn the codes using the Powermid (possibly with a following wind and a lot of luck)
