X1 IR needs repeated button presses to work

I finally was able to program my TV, but now commands won't register unless I tap the key twice quickly, or just hold the button down. I have an IR blaster that I can see is lighting up when I press a key. I feel like the IR signal is not lasting long enough for a single press to be registered. I've also tried using the IR cord directly to my TV from the X1 hub and had the same issue. Bluetooth works flawlessly, but several functions are missing. I really hope you guys continue to improve the app and hardware because right now, the U1 is still a more flexible and useful device then the X1.
