RC71 is driving me nuts!!

[vxooxv]

I've had the same RC71 and wireless genie in the same room for multiple years.

Suddendly the remotes loses connection. Guide and so forth does nothing. I can see the blue on the box quasi blink though when I hit buttons.

I do the mute + enter trick. It says applying RF whatever. I can hit ok. Guide / List etc does nothing.

I feel like I'm in a never ending loop.

From time to time I can hard reset the box via yanking power and it seems it'll hold signal for a couple hours. Same start the next day. Nadia.

Changed batteries too.

The only thing I can think of is I got a new smart tv. Maybe that has something to do with it?? So frustrating.

Any help appreciated.

Correction. This one isn't a wireless genie. It's a C41-700.

try turning off the powersave mode on the tv or turning off the backlight feature on the tv.

Have you tried to isolate if the remote itself is failing, perhaps by programming one from another room to this client receiver and trying it?

I got one box where the RF remote won't work on. Ir works fine
