My digital converter remote is crazy

17 years ago

Everything with my digital converter box/remote, TV, DVD, and VCR had been working fine (other than it being a pain in the arse).

Yesterday, the dig. converter remote wouldn't turn on the TV. I figured out that I had to reprogram it to talk to the TV. Well, shortly after that, it quit working again. I can turn on my TV with my VCR remote, and then change the channels with the converter remote, but I can't turn the TV off and on with it.

So I tried to reprogram it again to talk to the TV, and instead of turning on the TV, it turns on the VCR!!!

What the heck? Is it possessed?

Make sure you don't have a button stuck in.

Okay. But I think it needs an exorcism. :)
Seriously though, when it does it again, I'll check out the buttons more closely.
I just can't stand this new digital changeover. It keeps me so busy with remotes that I probably use up a fair number of calories a day, just reaching for different remotes, turning the volume up or down for each different channel, looking for all the remotes, throwing the remotes, etc., etc.

P.S. jdbillp,
I just remembered that I've tried the other digital converter remotes that I have for other TVs, and the same thing happened on this specific TV/VCR setup. Its like it chooses to communicate with the VCR, but not the TV.
