I get a lot of problems from my Dish Network receiver also. Seems that the rf and ir capabilities clash. However, my niles system has tamed it nicely. It does get complicated though. I'm using an IRP 6 with a table top IR receiver and a stick on emitter to the units in question. Works flawlessly. Also, the table top reciever tells you via green and red LED's if your signal was accepted or not. Contact me if you really want some detail.
