Thanks DanKurts,

I will have a play around with the lighting levels and see if it makes any difference. Luckily I bought an RFX6500 with the remotes so may try that, however I was under the impression from reading the manual you can only operate RF or IR at one time via the remote and not a mix of two so this won't be the best solution in my home due to concrete midfloors (it would be great to be able to work RF and IR at once).

Will let you know how I go - cheers
