Yep.  Got one here and takes ages to realign if someone bumps it.  8( 
I'm using one of the ir blasters from irblaster.info (the one with 
the visible LED so I could see when it should be working), and I'm 
using Jon Waite's standard Pace_RC-30 config.

The best position I've found for it is about 3-4cm away from the IR 
sensor, on an angle to the left of about 40-50 degrees, and about the 
height of the sensor. I luckily had a little magnetic stick figure 
dude, who I've assigned the job of holding it in just the right 
place. 8)
