1. A method for facilitating infrared (IR) communications from a first device to a second device in the presence of an IR noise source, comprising:
- initiating an IR transmission from the first device to the second device; and
using at least one of the first device and the second device to actively reduce a level of IR noise being generated by the IR noise source during the IR transmission.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating infrared (IR) communications from a first device, such as a set top box, to a second device, such as a remote control, in the presence of an IR noise generating device, such as a plasma television, by using at least one of the first device and the second device to actively reduce a level of IR noise being generated by the IR noise generating device during an IR transmission from the first device to the second device.
