One thing that I miss by not using a standalone dvd player is that I don't have a simple display telling me how much time is elapsed and/or remaining on the video I'm watching. Is there some way to make this happen? I think I'd like something small and discreet in a corner, but I'd like it to stay visible all the time.

It's an interesting point - the thing that got me really interested in HTPC was a Youtube video showing a demonstration of Linux MCE v Windows MCE, and X10 home automation seemed to be a major part of the demo. When a DVD played, the lights in the room dimmed, the curtains were drawn etc. All slightly over the top, but an impressive...

You can try to get a USB-UIRT IR receiver / transmitter (shipped with Microsoft's MCE remote sometimes i guess) and with that it comes with one or two transmitters. these transmitters you place infront of the IR eye of any devices, and then teach your remote the codes of the remote(s) that you want to replace... this is all in theory...

If you have to enter 3 digits using the STB's remote to change channel then you'll need to set the channels up in the TV Server the same. You say that the codes are being blasted, so could it be a timing issue? I'm not using the IR server suite, but i think you can change the blasting speed, try slowing it down and see if that helps.
