Remote Operation

Who knows if this post is in the right forum. Either my remote has gone bad (new batteries), or it's a monumental coincidence of biblical proportions that after the last software update- the remote works wonky now.

 

Anyone else experiencing problems with they're remote lately??

 

Huh. The bottom info section missed one thing. Favorite Color? Yellow.

You're right, it's a monumental coincidence of biblical proportions that after the last software update the remote works wonky now.  Have you checked that the remote is not suffering from IR interference?

Please describe "works wonky".  What was your favorite color before the software upgrade?

wonky
weird, whacked out, messed up, not working for no definable reason. Usually applied to technology.

That's actually a really good word and I must confess that I hadn't seen it used that way, I like it.  Not sure why a software update would change any remote settings but if it were me, I'd set up the RF afresh and see if it's less Wonky the second time around.
