I've been using a UIRT for several years now, and love it. I don't 
even have it pointed directly at the DISH receivers it's controlling, 
yet the only time it ever misses a channel change is when somebody 
happens to step right in front of it while it's blasting IR.

In terms of RX, the only problem I have is that my TV's fluorescent 
backlight interferes with the signal from my remote for the first 
minute or so after the TV starts up, making for lost keypresses.
