With regards to receiving Apple Remote button presses, Remote Buddy prefers the internal Apple IR receiver over the EyeTV IR receiver. The EyeTV software may do it the other way round, so that - depending on whether you use Remote Buddy or not - you'll get a different quality of reception by two different receivers that are positioned differently. If you want to use the EyeTV receiver with Remote Buddy in favor of the built-in Apple IR receiver, you can disable the Apple Remote as listed under "Built-In receiver" and enable the Apple Remote as listed under "EyeTV Receiver".
