| Post subject: | ATI Remote Wonder Range, am I the only one using gymnastics? |
Hello, So am I the only one that has to position myself and my remote *just so* to get the thing to recieve? It works fine when: 1) I hold the remote directly above the receiver 2) I hold my hand above my head as far as I can reach 3) When I sit in the middle of the couch with my hand raised just so and the remote "pointed" to the ceiling 4) I do the remote wave 5) I threaten the remote To try to fix this I've: 1) replaced the remote batteries with fresh - name brand - batteries 2) positioned the receiver in every possible location constrained by the presence of a shelf and the length of the cabling 3) searched this forum 4) posted this post Is this range normal? Is my remote broken? Can this possibly be a configuration issue? Any help is greatly appreciated! I got a remote with the haupauge pvr150 - maybe I'll try that one. Thanks! Sean |

I have the exact same issue with my Remote Wonder. I have been considering replacing it, but I really like the RF (when it works) and the numerous buttons. I've yet to find a different remote that fits the bill. I'd switch to IR if need be, but I really like, and use, the extra buttons. |

I used to have the same range issues with my Remote Wonder until I put the receiver as far away from the PC as I could, using a 3 ft USB extension cable. The receiver now sits on the top of an entertainment center - the PC is in a cabinet at the very bottom of the same entertainment center. I have no problem controlling Myth with the Remote Wonder anywhere in the room, or when using a second Remote Wonder in the bedroom upstairs (the bedroom is directly above the room where the receiver is). I think the key to getting good range from it is to move it as far away from any noise (the PC, the TV) as you can. In my case, that 3 ft extension cable made all the difference. |
