I have 8 motorola boxes that I have set up with RF base stations. 350 and 260
i am having major bleed through. every remote changes every cable box. I have all base sations ID seperate and blaster is OFF. I also have the ports programmed per device.
everything was working and now every remote changes every cable box. I even unplugged an emitter and removed fom cable box and the chanels still change!!
tech support has no idea
any ideas why

Are all the boxes together? In line of site of each other? 8 MRFs? Did you set the channel on the MRF or just in the software? Did you set to RF only in the software? I find it unbelievable that all the remotes control all the boxes unless there is something wrong with the configuration.

Sounds like you could use their MX880Z/MRZ260(x2)...

I don't like the MRF-260, because not all ports have adjustable IR output. Stick with MRF-350 or MSC-400.

The IR gain should not need to be high, because cable boxes are usually very sensitive.

Each MRF/MSC should have it's own address. Each IR output should be addressed in the program for each remote. LED outputs (blaster) should be off. it sounds like you did all that.

When all else fails, use emitter shields and Xantech emitters. It's the emitters that run hot, not the MRFs.



Thank you,
