Remote only works when pointed very close to the sensor on TV

Hi, my remote only works when I point it about two feet away from the TV's sensor. I know it's not the batteries (I just replaced them). Sometimes when I use it from far it works, but then stops after a couple of clicks. Could it be a sensor issue? Not sure.
