When I make a kee stroke on the remote, multiple characters appear.
When I make a kee stroke on the remote, multiple characters appear. Where is the problem - in the remote or in the box? If I manage to still specify the movie, everything is working fine.
ANSWERS:
It was not wet. That is for sure. As to short circuits, it is one of the possibilities that I characterized in general as circuitry problem. As to integrity of manufacturer, I had no intention to subject it any doubt. As to amount of money, it was more than two times higher than other units with similar functionality. My informal complaining groan here was a product of my hope that manufacturer's reps that might be reading this blog could have come back to me and, in support of the manufacturer's integrity, would send me a replacement for my remote.
Pairing the remote to individual Boxee Boxes does NOT fix the multiple repeated responses though, it least not on my THREE Boxee Boxes on three different TV's. Nor is it a Battery issue or the contacts for the battery, I've tried all those and the "Phantom Repeats" continued. I've carefully pair each remote to individual "BB's", none turn on or control other BB's in the house. Still, one of my BB's exhibits the "phantom repeats" to single key presses, and I know it's not the factory BB controllers fault because it also happens with two different Android BB apps I have on my Google Nexus 7 Tablet, which does control other BB's just fine with no phantom repeats. I'm afraid the problem is a bug in the hardware on perhaps a corruption that develops in the Firmware and a Complete Reset of the BB is the only thing that fixes it .... temporarily, when it starts happening again after a few weeks.
