My box is acting weird? new image installed

Yes there are plenty of crap fakes around. But at least try to fix your remote first - you might actually succeed.

Ok my RC is screwed.

Can I get a universal remote? And if so how do I set it up?

yes look at the logitech harmony range (600 and 650 should set you back about 30 quid and are amazing remotes).

 

[pembo]

Agreed. I've got a harmony 700 and it's even wife safe

Really easy to setup

 

[rafter_01]

I'm going to order the rc from WOS. What if the issue isn't the rc? Do WOS have a return policy? £25 Inc delivery is a lot for a remote.

 

[Rob van der Does]

You'd better order a Harmony. You can use that anyway, and much better than any device-R/C.

Okay cool. Which model do you recommend? One that similar price or cheaper than the standard rc from WOS?

[Rob van der Does]

A Harmony 600 does the tricks very well.

Had a quick search but not much joy. You know of a place I can buy one from? What about harmony 300i or a 525?

 

[Rob van der Does]

Certainly don't buy a 300. But a 600/650/700 is fine.
The 525 is fine as well, in fact it has been my long term favourite, but it is old. Not a real issue, but you should be able to find it cheap.
Be careful with second hand Harmonies; they may be crippled.

 

[rafter_01]

ok old RC was completely screwed.

Got a new RC, the usual vu duo RC. But the issue i have now is that the remote is tempermental, it works fine sometimes and sometime it slightly lags or doesnt respond when i'm selecting options? WTF is going on.

Sometimes the remote seems fine.

Any advice

thanks

Where did you buy the remote?

 

[rafter_01]

Where did you buy the remote?

From h3adersat, respectful ebayers

 

[rafter_01]

This is still an issue for me, any thoughts on what I can do next? Shall I return this remote and get a new one? Not 100% sure if it's the remote itself.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Well, I gave you my advice already....

 

[rafter_01]

You did thank you but the harmony is too expensive and I don't really want to pay that much for a remote that's going to get a bashing over time.

 

[Rob van der Does]

What should you have paid for a 600? And remember: in future only the Harmony on the table, no other R/C's.
