Originally it was on a light coloured surface and maybe 20% of the transmissions would be received wrong for no apparent reason. On a hunch I put some black cardboard underneath the IR receiver area and my error rate went to pretty much zero. Finally, I repeat each channel change two more times with a 10 or 15 second pause in between and that has eliminated misfires totally.</div><div><br></div><div>This DTA is the cheapest of the cheap and yours is probably built better but if not I’d look at reflections as a source of trouble.</div><div><br></div><div>- George</div><br></body></html>
