Dodgy remote ? anyone else?

[dalep]

Sorry I've been away working, the remote is a piece of junk lol, i will call WOS tomorrow to discuss a resolution

Tried new batteries too, its not unresponsive, just does its own thing

I was , if i had time, going to learn the commands into my iPad and see if it works ok that way, at least it would prove if its the remote or the box

thnx

Before contacting sponsor I would try changing the R/C code. Default for the Ultimo is code 2, I would try e.g. 4. Would be very interesting to know if the same issue occurs than.

Just tried it, makes no difference

I have has the Ultimo since day one and the remote is as poor now as it was when it was released, batteries and every other idea is a waste of time.

I have contacted VU regarding this matter and they are fully aware of it but seem unable to resolve it.

The remote is junk so get a DUO one and you will be happy, I am amazed the team here are trying to offer solutions when we know it is a hardware issue.

[dalep]

Why should i have to PAY for a DUO one? I paid good money for this box, and if it doesn't work, then someone is responsible to put it right.

I have NO intention of PAYING for one, this is a sale of goods issue if VU are aware of the fact..

If i want to be shitty, under the sale of good act, this is NOT fit for purpose...

The supplied remote is a piece of junk, and for a box costing towards £500 with all the options, its simply not good enough.

[Rob van der Does]

Please don't exaggerate. I'm not a fan of the Ultimo's R/C either, but it does the job.

[dalep]

Moderator or not, how dare you tell me NOT to exaggerate!!

The supplied remote is simply a piece of junk and DOES NOT do the job!

Would you walk into a Panasonic dealer , lay down good money and just get told, oh well the remote is flakey, no i doubt it.

If everyone try and cover up the fact, then VU will see no reason to ever fix it.

Why should i have to use another remote, The VU came supplied with a remote in the box, and it does not work as it should.

Lie to yourself if you want, i will NOT.

Have a chat with VU+ see what they can do for ya

[pooface]

Dale, please can down...

Yes, the remote isn't very good. Is it fit for purpose, yes. It changes channels, all fine. You're remote sounds like it is not working properly, as no-one has come up saying they have had problems like you with the channel changing when changing volume etc... So sound more like your box or remote is playing up. Our, could be interference. Have you turned off all wireless boxes, routers etc, microwaves, dect telephones, as they could btw the cause of your problem...

@ dalep.

i fully understand that you are frustrated but i will ask that you calm down a little, foul language is unacceptable here as is abusing the very people who are trying to offer you help. please contact the site sponsor and he will gladly assist you in any way that he can to resolve your issues, but again i would ask that you do so in a calm and polite manor.

If you re read my post you will see, i used the word 'shitty' mm, so foul, i can see how many will be so offended. Also, you can also see that it was directed at NO ONE.

In what way did / am I abusing ANYONE here? My reply to RDV ( i assume that is to what you are referring to) was not abusive , if fact i found his reply very patronising.

Like I said, i will request a replacement and take it from there.

thread now closed as the op is going to contact the sponsor about his remote.
