I have had a lot of problems with URC products and the MRF-250 and 300 lately. Today in one house, there are two rooms and one remote. I have separate RF addresses one room works great the other room works even better but there is a 1-3 second delay between the time that I push the CH+ on satellite (DirecTV H-10) and when it actually changes channels. If i put it back on IR then it works flawlessly. Any ideas????

I had the same probelm with the H-10 and was not able to make it work reliably via RF. I ended up having to use an IR System. Other than that one time, I have never had a problem with the 300, and only a handfull of problems with the 250. Overall their stuff has improved drastically since the old MRF200 ; )

It sounds like there are two possible issues...

1) The emitter is either over or undersaturating the IR sensor. If you are using an MRF-250 with this device, change the location of the emitter until you get proper consistency. Typically, the MRF-250 will run a bit hot. If you are using an MRF-300, adjust the IR output for that emitter line on the top of the MRF.

2) RF interference. Check the status light on the MRF-300 to ensure it blinks immediately with each button press and goes out when the remote is not sending a signal. If there are issues there, you can unscrew the antenna on an MRF-250 or move the antenna/adjust the RF gain for the MRF-300.

Let me know if this helps.



Thank you,

I think it's more like two systems that don't work well together. I have the same problem. Everything in the rack works flawlessly, except the sat. box. I have moved the eye to every location I could and adjusted the IR power at all of them, just a no go.

Luckily my client is famous and wealthy, I'm trading in the 3000 for a Crestron system. He has a tour bus with an AMX system so I think he'll like the feel of the TPS-1700.

This is one of two incompatabilities I've ran into, the other involved Rotel, but that was two years ago and the problem no longer exists.
