I had a similar problem as well. I confirmed that it happend both during the day and at night, and I also used another remote with it (Palm V running OmniRemote). It only happened about 4 or 5 times during the last year, so it's certainly not as bad as your case.

I ended up sending mine back to empeg to replace the IR receiver. The had it fixed and sent back to me in a couple of days.
