The screens obviously give out some form of IR when warming up because when I bought a smaller LCD for the bedroom, in which I have a IR remote light dimmer switch, when I turned the tv on it faded the lights up then down then up and finally off. It doesn't effect any other remotes, I have the older Pace STB, I know this uses a different type of frequency than the newer boxes, maybe they are not affected?
