I'm posting this here as the receiver model in use is a tm 3000d fta model. My brother in law has this box which I installed for him several years ago, recently he's been experiencing remote control problems (would occasionally work but more often not) I called over to him at the weekend with a replacement box only to find the same thing happens with this one too. Turns out that the TV itself is causing the problem (Samsung 50 inch plasma) with the box placed behind the TV away from the screen it works ok, has anyone seen this before
