<div class="gmail_quote">The only issue I have is the same one I
had before the upgrade and that is that when I turn the TV on,
it takes about 2 minutes before the remote is responsive.
After that, it is fine. I just cannot understand even how
Myth knows that the TV is off or just turned on and I
certainly don't understand why the remote would be so slow to
become responsive. I often use a remote keyboard if I want to
do something during those initial minutes. Does anyone know
what could cause this behavior? It almost makes me want to
get a different remote or different control code but I like my
remote very much and don't need a new hobby :-)

<p>It may seem counter-intuitive, but the backlight in TV itself can
sometimes interfere with the operation of IR remote controls. This
is particularly problematic with older CFL (pre-LED) backlights.
It may be the case that the backlight is only interfering during a
warm-up phase, which is why it stops doing so after 2 minutes.</p>
<p>The way to test this would be:</p>
<p>1. Turn on the frontend computer but leave the TV off.<br>
</p>
2. Press up/down arrow or some other key on the remote that you know
will make a visible change on the frontend.
<p>4. Turn the TV on and see if the change happened.</p>
<p>If so, then it's most likely the TV's fault. See if the TV has
any sort of "energy saving" mode that can be disabled, as that can
cause the TV to rapidly flicker the backlight.<br>
