When I bought my house, I had my home theater guy set me up with. RTI remote, a T2 if I remember correctly, and their waterproof one for the pool. Excellent remotes, no issues until the waterproof one died after 5 years.

My guy talked me into going with URC, with an MX-890 for indoor and their waterproof one for the pool. They worked fine for about a year but now I'm having irritating issues.

I have a Directv console, an Apple TV, a PS4 and a Denon X3100 all hooked up to the URC remotes.

Some of the random issues......

- Directv commands don't work or are delayed, needing multiple pressing of he buttons. Sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds for a command to happen. I've tested the console using the DTV remote and have no issues while using it.

- using the "Watch TV" command on the remote will show a picture but no sound. I have to turn off and turn on again.

- attempted to listen to Internet Radio this morning. The screen showing me my options, such as Pandora, Sirius, etc. wouldn't show, even after multiple turn offs and ons.

My guy thinks it's due to interference from my wireless router, neighbors, etc. I've been experimenting with different router channels and so far have found channel 6 to work the best but I still have the issues I mentioned. Not 24/7 but often enough to annoy the hell out of me. Oh, and after reading a thread in these forums, he placed the ferrite magnets on the antenna. Didn't see a specific gain in effectiveness of the remote.

If I decide to dump URC, what would you recommend as a replacement? Go back with RTI? Or another brand? I'm hoping that another brand will better handle any wireless interference, if that's even the problem.
