You could just use the ir_translate capability of hijack to enter something like the following in your config.ini:

when in tuner mode, knob rotate right = Remote Next

I'm just figuring out exactly how powerful IR_Translate is... you can go nuts with it! All this should be in the FAQ in the next few days.
