Is line of site to the usb device itself required? or just to the front of the Fire TV

The sensor is infrared and you must be in line of site with the USB for the remote to work. I bought a USB extension cable and positioned it facing forward.

Can you send infrared signal via LIRC using a rasperry pi?

No this emulates a keyboard. If you want to use LIRC you need to connect an IR receiver diode to the GPIO pins.

Have Harmony 650 and I will buy the Fire TV. There will be no line of sight, reflected or otherwise to the rear of the Fire TV. Will this work?

You need line of site. I had my FireTv mounted behind the TV and it didn't work. I got a USB extension cable and mounted that to the bottom of my TV and it works like a champ.

Infrared requiring line of sight?

Yes, or some way for the light signal to get to the flirc, such as bouncing the signal off a wall. Best if there's a direct line of sight though.
