I have a one for all 7562.
I have found a code for my topfield satreceiver on this website.
But none of the buttons had the right position.
Therefore I moved the keys.
Then i learned the rest of the keys into 7562 from the original remote controle.
It then worked perfect for about a month.
But now I can only use one sat-command. Then the TV-button blinks twice and now the remote works for TV.
I then have to push the satbutton again to make it work as satremote. I can then push one sat-button before it turns into TV-mode again.
I have tried to take the batteries out of the remote. Then it works normal for about 2 minuttes but then it turns back to behaving strangly.

Any suggestions what I can do to make it work normal again.
Im not so happy for a total reset because it means lots of work :-).

One of the batteries in your remote is completely dead and the others are working too hard pushing current through the dead one. This results in sudden voltage shifts in the total voltage of the set of batteries, which results in all the strange behavior you've described.

Replace all the batteries (even if you identified which one was worse than the others, using a mismatched set of batteries will just get you back to this condition later).
