OTHER X2 remote issue?

[kittyhas1000legs]

I just picked up an X2 just to have a cheap DVB-S2 receiver, and so far I haven't gotten it to respond to either of the remotes. I can navigate the menus using the buttons on the front, but I can't edit/remove channels or satellites. I'd like to get my dish aimed, but I need the remote to type in the tp frequency. It has the 9/17 firmware.

?Just to get the obvious out of the way, I DID try the batteries in another remote.

make sure the batteries are fresh and installed correctly.

I must have gotten a "special" barch. It works with the batteries backward...

I must have gotten a "special" batch. It works with the batteries backward...

Now I don't care who ya are, that right there is funny!

It makes sense though with the receiver coming from China. After all, they are all upside down compared to us over here. LOL

that is why they give you 2 remotes

FYI: I've had my X2 lock-up on me a couple times, I thought it was the remote, but I tested it with this easy test;

If you have a digital camera(may work with a phone too), turn it on like you were going to take a pic, look at the display(not the viewfinder), point the remote at the camera and press a button, you will be able to see the light from the IR.

So I power cycled the X2, and it worked fine.

or hold it up to an AM radio (if people still have those) and press a button.
you should here beeps in the radio speaker
