Once upon a time Dave in Boston shaped the electrons to say...

Kind of.  They're IR, like any other remote.  So they're subject to
interference.  And they're subject to any hiccups in the cable box.
If it misses the change the TiVo can't know - with serial it does and
will resend the change.

The best thing I can suggest (other than going to a TiVo HD and
ditching the cable box) is checking this thread for the recommended
configuration for your box:

IR issues seem to happen more with Motorola boxes for some reason.
