My anecdotal findings are a little different.
0-10 feet = Great signal with the remote working well in any direction.
10-15 = Still decent but a little less responsive.
15-20 = The remote seems to be pushing its limits and behaves much like an IR remote, needs a little pointing!
The RF TiVo remote fails to work behind a closed door 5 feet away where as my RF light switch has no trouble 25 feet away and in the next room.The TiVo RF signal won't even pass through the palm of your hand.
The TiVo IR remote has had a new lease of life though, used with the V6 the IR remote has become a lot more powerful. Only needing a vague line of sight.
I have to add the TiVo RF remote is in my view, the better of the two types and there's no learning curve. Size and feel has a lot to do with it!
