    Default DM500 Remote range

    A couple of months ago my good wife purchased me a DM500s for my birthday and I have spent the last couple of months learning about the Dream, loading different images, trying different configurations and its been good fun.

    Overall I like the Dreambox but never been entirely happy with the remote control. It worked fine if you were within 2M of the Dream but beyound that it was very hit and miss & your aim had to be spot on to make it work.

    I finialy decided to do something about it on the weekend and found that the problem in this case was the IR receiver was not positioned correctly behind the opening in IR window. Repositioning of the IR receiver has improved the range three fold & now I dont have to be so accurate with the aim either.

    This may have been a one off problem but if anyone else is having trouble with their remote this may be worth checking.

    Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.

    That has been posted a number of times now.

    If you remove the stained perspex cover it will work 10 kilometres away...
