If you use separate remotes you can pair each one to each device - This means that the device will only work with the specific remote with which it is paired.
However, if you're just using a remote for the AppleTV the this doesn't really help you as the remote can still be used to control other devices (like a Macbook).

I would probably leave the infrared port turned off on the Macbook - Do you need it for anything else?
