Asked this on another form, but thought I would post here as well...
So over the last 2-3 days pretty much all our remotes stopped working (SHAW satellite, VIZIO TV, even the DVD player which we no longer use). Original TV remote doesn't work anymore, satellite (universal) remote will work the satellite pvr sporadically, and works 1 cm away from the IR sensor and barely operates the TV (again sporadically from 1 cm away from the sensor - after re-entering all appropriate codes). Like I mentioned, it just started a few days ago, up until then, everything was working fine. I even went to SHAW and bought a new remote (previous remote was purchased in May), even changed out all the batteries to new... I've tried pretty much every suggested fix online (general and specific for the brand of tv). The other info I've read is that there is IR interference (from what, I have no idea - as we have not purchased any new electronic equipment)... Anyone have any solutions, or can explain what is happening?! Thanks, P
