Teknobeam1,

I tried removing the antenna, and it seems to have made an improvement, but, for me at least, not upto a level where it is useful! I might now have reached a 50 % hit rate, but very unevenly distributed. For a 5 minute period I might have near 100 % hitrate, then it will drop to 0 % for 5 minutes. A hard reset, involving unplugginh everything, moving it around and reinstalling in a slightly different place, and the cycle starts again. Now this could, just, be almost acceptable for someone with infite patience, good will etc etc (essentially a buddhist I guess) with only single key presses (if it doesn't work the first time, just keep pressing until it does), but for people with macros it is actually worse than useless, as you completely loose control of your system and its state.

I think I will be buying the newest and best Pronto type remote very soon, unless something drastic happens in terms of improvement...
