I've found that the Pace box seems to be sensitive to other light sources, more so than anything else. (I have a new one, but my older one had the same issue).

A particular gotcha is if ANY other remote control is stuck in the "on" position.. for example if something is resting on a button or it's just plain faulty. If your Pace box suddenly gets unresponsive, then check for another IR transmitter. (Many mobile phones and laptops have IR as well, this could potentially cause intermittant problems)

As an aside, did you know that the IR bulb shows up on pretty much any digital camera or camcorder, including camera phones? It's a useful quick test to see if your remote is working properly..
