Does your remote make noises?

[ChadT41]

A thread brought back from the dead from 2009? I wonder what the record is on this site.

Saw a 2006 one about 7 months ago.

Here's an odd one...

Does your dish remote make an occasional 'click-click' noise all by itself at times?

If I sit on the couch sans TV on, about every half hour or so, the remote makes an audible 'click click'. It's more mechanical than digital sounding.

I don't like my electronics making noises when they're not told to. ;0)

Very scary. Which remote is making this noise?

Got to give credit to the reviver though - they used the search tool !

I'm going to guess that it's no longer a concern of the OP's...

Agreed. I wasn't attacking the poster.

Glad I'm not crazy!

How did you deduce that from the responses?

He may not respond... He hasn't visited the site since May 2010.

And, he may have been institutionalized.

Does/did he wear a tinfoil hat?

Maybe his aluminum deflector beanie is laminated.

That's Hallers job.

My Bell remotes all do this as well.

Reminds me of the old ultrasonic TV remotes. THAT technology got superceeded pretty quickly.

Lose the remote?,just jingle your car keys

My Hopper remote used to do that too! I've since cut the cable, and now my Tivo remote does it!! Kept my wife from falling asleep last night, so she put it in the other room. That prompted me to do a search.

Good reason this thread was dormant for 7 years.

Mine has done this for a while and I've noticed this on a few others during my life. It does sound mechanical, like some part that moves inside it, suddenly clicking, or actuating. The funny thing is it isn't a sound it makes naturally while pushing the buttons to change channels. Whether the TV is on or off it is prone to click.

I had a weird theory that maybe it is sun-spots. I've always assumed there is a part that dangles inside it that can be affected by them--or perhaps some other magnetic force.

But I suppose the heat thing makes more sense. Samsung 25.5 inch TV flatscreen..

I once had an RCA TV that had a hypersonic remote, I could her little pops from the transmitter when I pushed a button.

If the vacuum cleaner got too close it would turn the TV on and off and maybe change channels.
