    Sporatic Operation of Remote Control
    :-XQuestions have been asked about the hampton remotes not working or working by themselves, but my remotes only operate less than 10% of the time, if at all.
    I've been through the drill of changing the batteries and getting the remote close to the receiver, but the problem does not change. Could this be related to the power surge problems that I've read about or is there another problem?

    ... circuitry is about as cheap and dirty as it can get. The best bet is to replace the remote. There is a small antenna inside that is quite easy to detune making it less likely to communicate with the receiver.
