    Garage remotes stopped working in whole neighborhood
    We live in a 40 home community and we all had a problem opening our garage doors with our remotes. The doors opened from the inside opener but not with the remote controls.

    Anything new nearby like a new cell tower or microwave repeater tower? EMP from a strong electrical field could cause an issue this wide spread. Are all 40 of you using the same brand opener or have you experienced a total power failure in the neighborhhod?
