Remote not working on dvr but works on other boxes

I have a Dvr box in the back of the house, It was working fine today earlier. I went back in the room and poof the remote dosent work on the box. It still works the tv. So I took it out to the other boxes in the house and it works fine on the other boxes.So I took both remotes from the other boxes and tried to use them on my dvr box. Again no response. the remote lights up when I press the button. Soooooo, I had recently switched the dvr box out for a new one. I have not sent it back yet so I have 2 working boxes. The issue I had last week was not box related so both boxes work fine. I tried swapping out the current box for the old box. Same thing,the remote will not work on it.Other remotes will not work on it yet this remote to the dvr box works every other box in the house. What happened? Did I lock the box somehow? or what can I do? The remote is working , just nt on the box in my room.Could it have to to with the signal being sent ot the box? I dont know its a mystery.

My guess would be IR interference from the TV.
Trying moving the STB away from the TV as far as you can, off the the side. Or if the STB is below the TV, try putting some kind of shield between the bottom of the TV and the STB. The objective here is to try to shield the IR sensor in the STB from any IR emitted from the TV.
IR interference from the TV is a known problem, there are lots of threads here on the Forums about this. Frequently this will occur if the TV is set to a very vivid video setting. But then again this issue frequently disappears after the TV has been on for some minutes.
Another possibility is IR interference from some other device in close proximity to the STB. So what other electronic devices are nearby?
Just a guess, but try moving or shielding the STB and see if there is a difference.

  • Apple remote not working

    My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

    Hi Focus,
    I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
    I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
    While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
    I hope help somebody.

  • Apple infrared remote not working

    Just a few days ago I updated Keynote, my time scale is a little hazy but I know recently, like last week, I used my appl infrared remote to control Keynote. I was able to press play and advance slides. This was a great thing, I remember doing and thinking wow apple is great. Now it doesn't work. I can turn the volume up but playing or advancing the slides does nothing. It sure seems like the last update removed this feature.
    Anyone know whats going on?
    Thanks,
    Kris

    Hi Kris,
    If you are having an issue with your Apple Remote not working with your Keynote presentations, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Start with the section titled If you're using the remote with a computer.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

  • Remote not working - doesn't seem to be pairing problem - any other ideas?

    Remote not working - Unpair does nothing - Status light solid/screensaver running - no response from status light when any button clicked on remote - new batteries in remote - only Apple remote in the house - anyone have a suggestion?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds.

  • Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

    Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

    Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

    Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
    Do a
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Creative Entertainment Center in windows 7.the remote not working

    how i can activate the remote from x-fi fatality champion series.after i change my system form vista to 7 my remote not working.can i install the software from vista?

    B? You have Creative Console Launcher, I believe and that is the program you can use to change between audio creation, entertainment and gaming mode. Each mode highlights the card's specialities in that area. You have a vitural multi-track mixer in audio creation mode. You have Dolby and DTS encoder/decoder options in entertainment mode, and you have a generic access to the cards other features in gaming mode.

  • Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

    DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
    The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
    ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
    Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
    Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
    The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Derivation Rules Not Working for other company codes

    Hi,
    I have 5 Company codes and only for one FM was activated. now i want to activate FM for all 5 company codes. for which i have assigned the FM area to all 5 company codes. I have also assigned the derivation strategy to all 5 company codes as well. now when i post a transaction for any other company code derivation rules is not being process hence no commitment item or fund center is derived. however for the original company code for which FM was activated in the first derivation rule are working fine means system is deriving commitment item and fund center. can any one tell me why derivation rules are not working for other company codes? do i have to add Company code in source field of derivation strategy? could this be the reason? because in beginning there was no other company code so we did not included any company code field in the first place.
    Regards,

    Faizan,
    Go to  Funds Management Government> Actual and Commitment Update/Integration> Activate/Deactivate Funds Management.
    In the screen create an entry for each Company Code and Funds Management Area combination.
    Activate the AA Derivtn flag if you want the derivation to be called and the Update flag if you want to update commitments and actuals in FM.
    Thanks

  • Qwertzuio not working - all other keys fine

    Hi,
    the aforementioned keys on my Air's internal keyboard have stopped to work. This has happened before, and it went away again. PRAM-Reset and Restart had not solved it at the time, I don't know what did.
    Now they are dead again. Does anyone know how to reactivate them?
    Regards,
    Torsten

  • Remote not working cable box

    I just picked up a new remote control for Comcast yesterday. I was able to program the remote for the TV after several trys but the cable is not working. The cable light comes on but nothing else. I am able to adjust the volume but no other buttons work. The instructions claim that the remote is preprogrammed. I have a Sharp Tv and Scientific Atlantic converter box. I also unplugged the dta box and let it reset and still no results  thanks

    I googled and I found this. Worked like a charm. ETA: the website: http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/whichremote/thread.cgi?398 Try assigning device code 1376 to the CBL device key:
    1. Press CBL key
    2. Press and hold SETUP until CBL blinks twice
    3. Type 1376
    It should blink twice. If it blinks long once, it could be one of two problems. One could be that CBL device is locked. To unlock it:
    1. Press CBL key
    2. Press and hold SETUP unit CBL binks twice
    3. Type 982
    If it blinks four times, now it's unlocked and you can do the above step to set to it to 1376. If it blinks twice, that means it was unlocked and now is locked, and you need to do the step above again to unlock it again. It also means that 1376 code is not present for some reason (possibly it was completely reset).
    You could use device code CBL/0476, which is built in, but it will not have the DVR commands and you would have to use advanced codes to program that in manually. I would just get a new one (that's has the correct code), but if you want to program them in instead of bothering to go back to the cable company, I can give you the list of codes for the missing commands and how to program them in.

  • Remote not working right

    I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right.  Some things work fine.  Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit).  What's wrong?
    My second TV set-up is OK.
    Solved!

    Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
    If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
    You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
    Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

    Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

  • Tuner Switch (swap) Button on Remote not working

    Just had FIOS TV installed a few weeks ago - I have the Home Media DVR, HD Receiver, SD Receiver, and 3 adapters. For some reason the "Change" button on the bottom right of the remote does nothing when trying to switch or swap tuners on the Home Media DVR. Since I can't find documentation in the remote manual on this button I'm not sure what to do. Is it just not implemented yet? Is it working for others?  What about the PIP button next to it?  Is this supposed to work now or possibly in the future?  Thanx for any help.
    Message Edited by realeyz on 06-01-2009 07:55 PM

    Realezy, I totally get what you are asking.  When I had TIVO with DirecTV we could swap between the two tuners.  Here you had the ability to watch show 1 and then rewind and fast forward etc.  and then swap to show 2 and then rewind fast forward etc.  All of this without recording.  
    My wife loved that feature when Idol and Dancing with the stars was on.  She was able to rewind, play and fast forward each show and never miss any part of the show because TIVO gave you the ability to select which tuner you wanted to watch and then rewind, ff, play.
    Its a good question that we have not been able to easily identify which channel each tuner is on so we can than fast forward or rewind or play on that channel.  There is a way to tell if you can rewind but I haven't been able to figure out if tuner 1 is changing its channel or if tuner 2 is changing its channel or if you are going between tuner 1 and tuner 2.
    Anyone?  I hope this makese sense.
