Sorry for the inaccurate read, of your initial inquiry, but the principle
behind my suggestion (above) remains the same. *I assume that the window
A/C unit has controls directly on it. *Would it be a big sacrifice to
cover the IR sensor on the A/C unit and control the unit directly?

Its really not a big deal, I thought it funny after I found what was going
on. *The AC gets turned on, later turned off and is rarely ever adjusted.
Same with the sound level as that control is usually only use with an input
aside from the cable box. . *I'll either tape over it or make some provision
for the few times they may interfere.

If you can find the ir pickup on the ac you could try gluing a small
tube over it. That would keep it from reponding to stray ir as
easily. You would need to point the control more directly in front of
it then.
