Re: Remote Buddy - Problems with remotes (Sony BD/EyeTV)

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Thanks for asking.

There I had the problem that EyeTV crashed regularly. Additionally 
the keys often repeated itself - although I pressed them only once.

 
I don't think that this crash is in any way related to Remote Buddy.

Are you running the latest version of EyeTV? If yes, please file a bug 
report with Elgato including the crash log.

So I bought a Sony Remote - but with this I'm having the problem 
that it loses connection every few minutes - sometimes every few 
seconds. Then I have to remove the batteries for a few seconds to 
move on.

I looked into the faq. But the distance is short (less than 2 
meters) and I already replaced the batteries. The power save isn't 
enabled.

 
Given your description, I definately would say that this is a battery 
issue. If you are using rechargeable batteries, please be sure that 
these have enough capacity, enough power left in them and have not 
reached the end of their life cycle already.

Also, once paired via the Setup Wizard, you should just press any (and 
only one) button on your remote to re-connect it to Remote Buddy. The 
button combination you are prompted to press should achieve the same, 
but if pressed for too long, it will also reset your remote's 
connection repeatedly which could also give you what you are seeing 
right now.

Best regards, 
Felix Schwarz
