I have an HB-1100S running the ".98" recent software that fixed the Youtube search bug. I have two remote controls for it.
Everything was working fine until about two days ago when I started having problems with both of the RC devices. If you get to within about two feet of the main box they both work fine. But if you go to a practical distance away say 6-10 feet then neither work properly. The key presses either don't register or they seem to multi-register. For example, The effect is if you press an up arrow or down arrow then nothing happens, or you may press the same button and it jumps up or down a menu four or five times. Everything seems to always work fine when you are close to the box.
I'm assuming as both RCs have the same fault the error is probably in the box itself.
To double check I changed the batteries in both RCs and its the same, and I factory reset the HB-1100s box itself and reconfigured it, and its still the same.
So any ideas of what I can try please?
Or is it new box time?
I was thinking of getting a different make box anyway because the recent Youtube fix seems to repair the search function but now the back button doesn't work in YouTube. I've been in touch with Humax support for about 6 weeks but apart from acknowledging the YT back button problem they haven't offered any assistance or even a proposed date for a new version of software.
Anyway, any ideas regarding the remote control problem?
Thanks in advance.
