Directv Remote Control And Vizio 42'

Since I installed my 42" Vizio, my directv remote control will work only in daylight  hours. Wasn't a problem with my old Sony, but now after dark I must stand about a foot away from the Directv box to change channels. Why? I've moved the box around with no change in performance. Changed batteries, changed remotes.
