I have just purchased the above remote for £4.99. It is a great Universal remote, but it seems to have a very powerful IR beam signal.

The problem it has is that when programmed for my SKY box, everything works great, but if I directly point the remote at the box, and press the on/off button, the box switches on and then off again.

If I point the remote at the wall opposite, and press the on/off button, the sky box acts normally.

Has anyone else had this happen with this remote, or any other remote?

I was thinking of using something to partially cover the SKY IR receiver to compensate for this.

More likely a sticky button or you pressing the button a little too firmly or too long!

But it happens on 2 remotes, and works fine if I point it against another wall to bouce the signal.

This doesnt fit with a sticky key, or too long a press.

Turning off then back on has to be too long a press. Probably nothing you are doing, but the IR code is being sent for too long.

You can prove it by looking at the IR transmitter on the remote through a digital camera. Press the button, and the LED will glow blueish white while it's transmitting.

Hi
Does anyone know how to add a Silvercrest satellite code to this remote - rather strangely they haven't listed their own branded products! Comag (sp?) products aren't listed either.

thanks in advance

Does anyone have the correct code to get sky+ working with this?
