I have an intermittent problem with my 2 linked TVs.At times the remote control will not select down.This makes it difficult to select the program you require.my system is SKY + .To cure the problem I have replaced the following :--- Sky box. Remote controls/Batteries.Lead to the loft amplifier from the Sky box.Splitter amplifier.Tried a power amplifier.Tried new eyes. Replaced cables to both linked TVs.Replaced all cable connectors.The leads to each TV are max 9mts. Is there a cure ???

Is this on both TVs? have you something in the room/rooms which may be emitting a spurious infrared signal?

Hi Rolf. Yes this can happen on both TVs.There are no items that I know about which emit spurious infrared signals. Thanks for the reply Steve B.

Thanks Paul. Yes 4. 1 new. Sunday the remote controls to the linked tvs were almost un-usable until approx 8pm when they started to work .The fault is not logical.Does anybody know of a good Satellite Mag that I can write to ???. I just think somebody somewhere must also have this fault.

Hi. I think the problem may have been sorted. Rolf mentioned spurious Infra red problems. I have placed the Link eyes 2mts away from the linked TVs and so far all seems ok but I will see how it goes over the next few days.Many thanks Steve B
