My dish network uhf remote control works intermitantly. occasionally it works, mostly it does not. IR works if pointing directly at descrambler, but that does me no good as the tv is upstairs away from descrambler. Batteries are new btw, and I have tried different sets of batteries as well. Thanks in advance if you can help.
If you extend the small antenna that is on the back of the receiver by using a short cable and a barrel connector to get the antenna out of the entertainment center or out from the TV this will help alot
I don't really have a solution, but this was the solution to the issue I was having. I have four televisions in the house and one DVR multi-room unit. I only had trouble with the IR/UHF remote on the south facing sun porch that is flooded with sunlight during the day. I had a hard time getting the remote to work at all with the DVR and before I got this set up I had a regular DVR that was hooked via the upstairs tv with a remote control changer tower that had a unit on the porch and a unit upstairs aimed at the DVR. The antennae was the issue the entire time and needed to be pulled out of the entertainment center/rear of the DVR. Now I can point the remote at the concrete floor and it still works. As a side note, this is a porch added after the home was built so the real exterior wall of the house is between the tv and DVR so there is a lot of possible interference from wiring, metal, etc...
