Yes, it's true. Low-energy bulbs send out infra-red noise that can drown out the signals from remotes. If you can re-arrange things so the STB can't "see" the bulbs that should fix it.

The bulb manufacturers claim it's less of a problem with newer bulbs, but I haven't seen any independent data on this.
