Contour Remote Issues - RF vs. IR Remote

I've been having terrible issues in our Family Room with the IR remote recognizing the input.  I have to hold the remote in the air at an angle to make it work, which is a very irritating experience....

That's true for infrared but not radio.  When I'm working at my table, I can't even see the cable box because not only is my couch in the way but the cable box is nestled within my entertainment console 25 feet away.  However, from the table, I can just press the buttons on the remote without even picking it up for it to work.  RF is definitely the gooder tech.

    You were right because I originally misread the question.  I saw "RF vs. IR" but skimmed over the detail, "input."  The  Input Select is most likely IR.
