Hi Mike,

Nothing has really changed in the orientation of the IR receiver... it
kinda hangs down from the top of the entertainment unit.  The blaster
portion is hidden from influence.  One thing that did occur to me to
check was the batteries in the remote and they were good.

I'll check on some of the other things you suggested in the next day or
so.  I'll also dig out the other receiver and try that one in place of
the one I've been using.  I will say that a buddy of mine is also
experiencing the exact same thing with his similar setup. He is running
the same version of Mandriva as I, however, my kernel and his are
slightly different versions.

As for now... I'm off to hopefully watch the Eagles rout the Redskins. :)

p.s. uh oh... I hope I didn't start another thread topic in this one.
