I use wckediptv and after they did an update yesterday my remote will not allow me to use the down button. If i use a mouse it lets me on VOD but not on the guide VOD if i use the remote it will not let me use the down button on remote

My remote started screwing up tonight too on my XRS4900. Takes two to three times for buttons to work. Batteries are new. I'll report back in the morning...didn't do any updates.

unpair it and pair it again

I did that but it didn't help. I decided to do an erase. That worked. Remote is now working like it's supposed to.

Strange? I had same thing on an XRS4900 also. Screwed around and it's working now...not sure what I did.

with my xrs4900 remote I used to think it sucked the batteries dry in a real short time.
Instead take the batteries right out of the remote and then reinsert them and the remote will work again.
Not sure how many good batteries I have thrown out until I figured this out lol.

that's why I use rechargeable <br />
already got 2 AA ready for my bt-250 when it arrives <br />
I don't use backlight and get about a year between charges

I also went with rechargeables after you said that a while ago. I also quit using the backlight which did make a big difference.:thumbsup:

Universal battery tester is a great thing to have. Less than $10 and tests all dry cell batteries.

even easier is the box will tell you what percentage of battery is left
