Couldn't believe that Philips is the remote I've been using! Good info! Hadn't done the "learning" yet on the new MHD remote yet into it!
I do find the MHD is a little tough to control from about a 45 degree angle out in my RV with its original remote.
Been thinking of trying a clear "bubble" of some kind over the remote window on the MHD to see if that helps capture the signals a little easier on the sides. Not sure if it would help. Not sure what could be used. Small inconvenience given all the pluses of the new receiver!
