Unless you are pulling our legs, how common is it for an entertainment
receiver to use an RF based remote? I thought they were all IR.

Both are IR

Another respondent suggested returning the home entertainment system and getting
another brand.

I suspect that any thermostat modern enough to have an IR remote control feature
probably is also fully programmable, and the need to manually over-ride the
program on an ongoing basis is like to be minimal if you've set the programs for
your customized circumstances. I suggest that unless a member of your household
has a physical limitation that really makes the remote control operation of the
thermostat important, you might want to forsake that feature and put a small
amount of opaque tape over the IR sensor on the thermostat.
