I find the sensor with the factory remote, not an IR emitter, to be sure that none of your IR system and its possible problems can confuse things. Then I take the one I intend for the @TV which isn't running it, and put it on the DVD player, and it works. To test the emitter, connect power and look at the emitter with a digital camera or a smartphone to see if the emitter is working / dim. Make sure that your motherboard drivers are updated also, especially the USB drivers. Oh, and I am confused about the backwards emitter.

Most digital cameras and nowadays smartphones are able to see and show IR light If emitter is dim / not working, go on to IR parts replacement. Also tried unplugging TV and plugging it back. There is nothing blocking the path to the TV. Remote (Basic IR) suddenly stopped working.
