<div>One other thing I forgot to mention is how my digital terminal is very sensitive to reflections. 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>

I haven't had any trouble with the actual remote... except when I'm trying to search, I tend to jerk the remote a bit as I try to quickly hit the number keys to get the right letters, and it tends to miss a lot of my typing because of that... which gives me hope that reflection won't be such a problem ;-)</div>
