I've got a Digisender Gold, the bees' knees when it comes to transmitting TV signals on an ntl set-up. And it works fine sending the SIGNAL. My 'main' tv is in the kitchen, with the set-top box, and my 'receiving' tv is in the bedroom. The picture comes through, not quite perfectly, but more than adequately.
But the problem is the remote control. Sometimes it will work properly. It is always fairly sensitive to direction, but no problem there. I don't move either the transmitter or receiver devices - in fact I've got the transmitter blue-tacked down so it won't move. Is the receiver device just as sensitive?
And other times, for no apparent reason, the remote won't work at all. (I've got three remotes, so have tried the others but with no more success).
I would have thought that once the Digisender bits were set up in the right place, with the 'magic eye' properly positioned on the set-top box, it would either work or NOT work. It's the intermittent working that is driving me spare.
Anyone else had similar problems, and preferably, any solutions?
Allen.
