Well, last night my MX-980 stopped sending IR commands during the Steelers game. I've tried reloading the to factory defaults and installed configs back to it. I did hold it really close to my DVR and on every maybe 10 times I hit a button it registers, but only if I'm an inch away from the receiver. Does this sound like a physical problem or something I can fix? I'd hate to have to buy another remote because this is only 18 months old.
Any ideas???

Did you swap your TV by any chance? If it's a Sharp or Sony LCD it could be IR interference.

Nothing has been changed out. Hasn't been dropped or anything. Just stopped working.

Only the DVR? Do other components respond? Using a base station?

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

No components respond unless I'm about 4 inches from them. I called URC and they said the would replace it for $317. I'm fairly disappointed that my MX-980 barely made it 18 months before failing. For the money I paid for this remote, I would expect better. I lasted no longer than my Logitech remotes I had in the past. I spent more expecting more. Guess I was wrong.

Mine will stop sending commands every once in a while. Even the red "command sent" icon stops lighting. All I need to do is pull the battery for a few seconds and it works fine again. Seems to happen when I stack multiple commands Ithink DirecTV DVR and hitting 30 sec skip 5-6 times quickly).
