    It's a freeview setup - I haven't got the model of box at the moment....generally speaking though is there anything that can be done about such problems?

    Thanks.

    Do you know are they or you using a magic eye or just straight forward remote? Most remotes are Infrared, don't know how it could be going through a wall.

    UPC (Virgin) Horizon remote uses RF so that could go through a wall.

    SHARP TV's (UMC) also use proprietary 2.4GHz :mad:

    You can get wifi from miles away using an MMDS dish so plenty of scope to annoy neighbours. Press two buttons to pair with a compatible TV on standby :rolleyes:

    I can't think of ANY advantages for user over good old Infra Red.
    Ordinary glass blocks IR.

    Yes RF means you don't need line of sight. Call me old fashioned but I think having line of sight to a TV makes it easier to watch.
