Cool, it's rare that that scenario wont work well. Couple of things create problems with IR. Stray RF, some old TV's really emit that, plus the new plasmas suck for IR interferance, but they make 'plasma proof' IR receivers now. And sunlight, totally block out IR (in most cases). Another one comes to mind...I had a strange problem with TV's turning off and on randomly at a bar I serviced, turns out there was some red neon close by that was emmiting the correct frequency to trigger these televisions. Cover up the IR port, or turn of the Neon and it never happened again. Strange....
