There's something to it, because it's real and happening to me, but I don't understand it.

But ricosuave See Profile suggestion seems to be working for me.
Glad to hear it. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22650420 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:49:25 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22637407 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22637407 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:50:09 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22575291

Fact or fiction - urban legend - man or myth -- don't know.
Don't have a degree in EE, physics, et al. Just what I've heard ... :D

I'm sure we have some students of the electromagnetic spectrum that can also weigh in on this -- shed some light (pun intended) :p]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22573683 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:31:44 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22569289 said by NOYB:

Long story short - a juiced up TV display setting may contribute to blocking the IR signal from remote to stb.

Could you explain for me the IR remote control interference caused by juiced up TV display.


That's what I don't understand, how can the order you put the TV and STB make a difference?

I can literally put the remote inches away from the STB and get no response, yet when everything is on and running, the remote works fine from across the room if I point it in the general direction of the cable box.

I did follow ricosuave See Profile's advice and programmed the units to come on at the same time. That seems to work fine..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22569289 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:16:51 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22568837

Do you have an email address that might help me? It appears BiggieB got it in response to a discussion about his IR remote problem in VZDirect forum. Check out the forum rules, and it's ok to provide account info because the posts there can only be read by the author and VZ reps.

Good luck.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22568389 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:17:39 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22567647 said by BiggieB:

I had a similar a problem with my 7216 ..... Verizon sent me a IR Extender cable Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns."
How did you arrange that?
I called Verizon and spoke to several different people that said they don't supply it. One guy said go to Radio Shack, I did, and they don't have it either.

I went to Best Buys and picked up what looked like the right thing but didn't work. A SmartPath IRE-1. IR Emitter with Mini-Plug, made by SpeakerCraft.

STB + OK
9-7-7
STB
TV
OK

In that order, for the STB, and then the TV to turn on. Or...

STB + OK
9-7-7
TV
STB
OK

But I'm going to bet that the first one will work for you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22564261 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:52:31 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22549453 Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22549453 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 13:21:03 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22548871

I discovered something strange.
It seems if the TV is switched on first, the cable box is unresponsive.

I need to turn the TV off, then the cable box on, and then the TV back on.

Does that make any sense to anybody?

Have you tried pressing the "STB" button, then the power button, on the remote?

I've found the remotes that came with our 7200 series boxes to be less than intuitive in that regard. But I've never had a problem turning the STB on using that method, or using our Harmony 880 universal remote.
Yes, I made sure I pressed the STB button and made sure that it lit up when I pressed the power button.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22512848 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 21:52:51 EDT Re: [DVR] Remote Control Issue http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22512233

I just got Fios TV and so far no complaints except, occasionally for the DVR remote control.
I have 1 DVR and two other receivers in the Motorola QIP 7100 series and this only happens with the DVR.

After the DVR has been off for an extended period of time, the remote won't turn the box on.

The lights on the remote light up but nothing on the DVR.
I can stand right next to the unit and do this, none of the remotes can turn on the DVR.

I have to press the power button on the unit, and then the unit works fine. All the controls and buttons work, no problem at all.

Anyone else have this problem?
Any fix for this?
Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/DVR-Remote-Control-Issue-22512030 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 18:33:49 EDT
