I figured out the problem.

Also, some N900s don't seem to have as great a range as others. You might try holding yours right up to the TV's IR receiver to see if you can get it to work.
It's not a problem of range; rather, at least on my N900 it's a problem of direction. It seems my device's IR LED is very directional and I have to point it exactly at the TV's receiver. At couch distance if I point it at the right side of the TV it doesn't even register, but it works if I point it at the left lower side.

I'm thinking of cracking open my N900 yet again and swapping out the LED for something a bit more useful.
