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,
