Problems with SKY PACE box

mobpd

Hi

Recently our PACE skybox has started having a mind of its own and is randomly receiving fake inputs and changing channels etc without us being anywhere near the remote control. It always seems to do this for about an hour each night around 11pm. The red light on the front of the PACE box flashes as if receiving random remote input - it is driving us demented as the channel constatntly changes !!

any ideas whatsup?
Cheers

Could be that the batteries are dying , i had a similar problem before and when i changed the batteries it went.

You don't have a digisender by any chance?
Could be somebody in another room changing channels.............

digiking

Block the remotes eye on the digibox and see dose it persist.

Let us know how things work out!!!!

I had this problem a while back. I was a remote extender which must have been on the same frequency as a neighbour. A slightchange of location of the receiver sorted the problem.
