Mines getting like that too, thought it might be the IR led in it getting tired. Should be easy to replace but not sure if thats the problem.

Hello, I have a similar problem with my Humax hd2000, but it now dosn't work at all. How can you test if it's the remote or the receiver ? I don't want to get a new remote only to find it's the receiver.

this might sound daft ....but one cheap , easy test is :- if you have a webcam , run the cam and point the remote at it , if the remote led is ok it will glow bright white when you press a button ,not 100% but gives you an idea if you have an ify remote.
