My IR remote control has to be within 3 feet of my 360 in order for it
to work. WTF?
The same remote (Harmony universal) will control my TV, stereo and
cable box from 50 feet away! I have two other compatible remotes -
including the one that came with the HD DVD add on - and they will
only work if they are within 2 feet or the 360.
This is my third 360. All of them have had terrible reception for the
remote control, but this new Elite is the worst. I talked to MS tech
support and they say they never heard of this problem! I find this
hard to believe. Am I the only one who uses an infrared remote
instead of the wireless controller when watching movies or using the
dashboard? I also like to use the remote to skip songs (without
pausing the game) while playing Forza and PGR4.
My solution was to cut a one inch hole in the faceplate where the IR
window used to be. It sure looks ugly, but the remote works just fine
now!!
