I was poking around under the hood of my wife's CR-V and noticed that it has a nice, cable operated heater control valve that fits inline with a heater hose.
It's part number 79710-S7A-G01, and sells for about $35 brand new.

It could be just the ticket for those who can't get their original heater valve to work right.
