Replacement Remote for NEC MT1000 Projector

Replacement remote-control for NEC MT1000 projector?
I recently acquired an NEC MT1000 video/LCD projector without a remote-control. I’d like to find a remote to control the volume (and possibly power), however OEM replacements are around $160 (even on eBay), and programable remotes are $100+. How can I make this work on a reduced budget? I can’t find applicable remote-control codes for existing universal remotes, and have been unsuccessful with trying a code search on a TiVO remote. Any help you could give would be appreciated!

Home Theater Question: So I want to set up a digital projector on the wall of my apartment and I have one remaining question: XGA or SVGA?
does it make a difference? What does it mean for the image that I’m going to get? Is it worth the extra 2-3 hundred bucks? I’m just going to be using this set-up to watch movies and play x-box so I’m not too anal but I want it to look good. Specifically, the model I’m looking at is:
