    They only rush to get back to ya when you are purchasing items
    Never when you have a complaint or something is faulty, lol

    Managed to contact Scott tonight via phone. He on.asked me to email him with transaction details and he agreed to send a replacement remote. If that wasnt the problem, he told me to send the box back and he would send a replacement.

    I've had an electronics expert have a quick look. He proved the remote was working and looked at the box innards. He thinks that there is a dry joint on one of the connections from the sensor to the circuit board - showed up under a magnifying glass. Didn't want to try to fix it myself as if that wasnt it, it would have probably invalidated the warranty.

    Am going to ask Scott to cut to the chase and ust send me a replacement and I'll return the faulty one. I'll let you know how I get

    I took the back off and checked the connection between the front panel and main board. I also took the pcb off the front panel to see if there were any problems there. Put it all back together - Nothing.

    Tried mycablebox again today. Four phone calls and no answer. No email reply to my email.

    all you can do is keep trying but remember you did flash the box so you know what they can say you modified the box but lets cross that bridge when we get to it

    unfortunitly not all you can do is change the channels on the front of the box and turn it on and off

    OK, well it looks like I'll have to try resoldering the IR sensor to see if there is a dry joint. If that doesn't work I'll have to try to get another IR sensor.

    Haven't checked to see if its got a serial number on it. Does anyone have any component details for parts?

    I'm hoping that its a generic part used in multiple electronic devices.

    Obviously the supplier route is best, but Im sat here with a supplier who doesnt answer emails and has turned his phone off!

    Yes. You are right. Its just so frustrating. I dont treat people this way, so dont like it when I get it in return.
