Hi All.
Got a problem with remote control, it only works about 4 inches from the box this happened suddenly with no warning last night.
First suspect was the batteries which I recharged, no joy been out this morning bought new alkaline batteries again no luck.
Having done a search on here found other people have had this or similar problems with other boxes, I did find a few tips such as looking at remote through video camera, did this and the remote is sending an infra red beam the remote operates my tv no prob and I have pressed stb on the remote It seems the box is not as sensitive to remote commands as it was.
The buttons on the front panel seem to work ok. Going out now to get some Duracells but I am not optimistic that this will work.
If this doesn't work would doing a factory reset help I will backup my settings and channel lists first.
Many Thanks in advance (sorry to be a pain)
