A media device infrared, IR, signal detection system, comprising: a media device configured to receive media content; at least one IR detector residing in the media device, the at least one IR detector configured to receive a portion of an IR signal (126a,b,c) emitted from a remote control; and a cover lens disposed in an enclosure of the media device, the cover lens comprising: a first cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal (126a,b,c) emitted from the remote control, and configured to transmit a first portion of the received IR signal (126a,b,c) to the at least one IR detector when the media device is in a first horizontally oriented position; and a second cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal (126a,b,c) emitted from the remote control, and configured to transmit a second portion of the received IR signal (126a,b,c) to the at least one IR detector when the media device is in a vertically oriented position; and a third cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal emitted (126a,b,c) from the remote control, and configured to transmit a third portion of the received IR signal to the at least one IR detector when the media device is oriented in a second horizontally oriented position; wherein the enclosure of the media device further comprises: a first surface that is configured to receive the first cover lens portion, wherein the first cover lens portion is orientated in an outward direction to receive the IR signal emitted from the remote control when the media device is in the first horizontally orientated position; and a second surface oriented substantially perpendicular to the first surface and joined with the first surface at an edge, and is configured to receive the second cover lens portion, wherein the second cover lens portion is orientated in the same outward direction to receive the IR signal emitted from the remote control when the media device is in the vertically orientated position; and a third surface orthogonally oriented to both the first surface and the second surface and joined with the first surface at an edge and joined with the second surface at an edge, that is configured to receive the third cover lens portion, wherein the third cover lens portion is orientated in the same outward direction to receive the IR signal emitted from the remote control when the media device is in the second horizontally orientated position; wherein the first cover lens portion, the second cover lens portion and the third cover lens portion are located at a corner of the enclosure where the first surface, the second surface and the third surface are joined together. a first cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal (126a,b,c) emitted from the remote control, and configured to transmit a first portion of the received IR signal (126a,b,c) to the at least one IR detector when the media device is in a first horizontally oriented position; and a second cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal (126a,b,c) emitted from the remote control, and configured to transmit a second portion of the received IR signal (126a,b,c) to the at least one IR detector when the media device is in a vertically oriented position; and a third cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal emitted (126a,b,c) from the remote control, and configured to transmit a third portion of the received IR signal to the at least one IR detector when the media device is oriented in a second horizontally oriented position;
