It sounds like different scenarios here as AvFan's issue is not solved by using a different remote.

I would note the angle of acceptance is slightly picky, so make sure you don't have the remote at a 45 degree angle.

Feel free to give me a call, M-F 9:00am - 5:00pm EST, at (866) OUTLAWS.


I agree, the remote is "picky" with regard to angle/line of site. It's dead on and flawless within the 45 degree angle (out from the 976 IR Sensor) so long as no line of site issues, like a table piece. The exact same as my TiVo remote, so Outlaw is not alone. Hopefully the repeater will help, if not alleviate, the problem.
