Thank for the replies..I will think about buying a new one, either TiVo or other. Sanr
I've had some remotes apart, behaving similarly, and the contact material on the bottom of the remote was simply dirty. I cleaned it up and reassembled, all was well. It was not a Tivo remote, YMMV. I've been researching new remotes, the Harmony One is a top pick and helps integrate other stuff too if you have more equipment to work with. The newest Harmony 900 is the Harmony One with RF, only important if you want to use it through walls or the like. Also, Tivo is due to release a new remote with a QWERTY keyboard, which requires a Bluetooth dongle plugged into your USB port, but not due out till "later this year". Or any number of other straight forward tivo remote replacements, most remotes are still available, unless you have one of the old Sony series 1 boxes. Those remotes are worth more than the box now.
