Yes, particularly as when I was sitting at the computer, my body often
blocked the IR signal from the TV remote, so it didn't always happen.
I was just lucky that the wife heard me yell out immediately after she
pressed the mute button and the computer automagically turned on.
I now have a strip of aluminium foil over the Toshiba IR window.
I tried black insulation tape first, but it was transparent to the IR
signal.
