Philips SRM7500 connection problems (1 Viewer)

[mikeymika]

Hi all,

It has been 2 weeks now with trying and testing but i cant seem to get this remote to work.
The problem i have with this remote seems to be a bit different then the ones i find on this and other forums.

My problem is that the remote loses connection after a few minutes. after a reboot it sometimes has it's connection back.
but then after a few minutes it loses it's connection again.
Other times i have to remove all my drivers again (even in my registry) and reinstall the whole thing.

i used the latest mediacontrol from the Philips website (version 4.0.1.2)

Links i used to try to fix my problem:
- https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/remotes-116/philips-srm7500-rf-mce-remote-41818/
i tried with Eventghost and with intelliremote. both don't seem to fix my problem.

- Anyone know why I cant install the software for Philips SRM7500? - The Green Button (the 4th post from below from Tripper)
the remote seems to work when connected but still loses connection with pc after a few minutes

- Melloware Forums • View topic - MCE Remote "Double" Button Push
This i used to fix the "Double Push" problem with the SRM. this is the only thing that did work for me.
so for the short time the remote works, it works OK in Mediaportal.


I probably forgot to mention something. (please let me know)

i hope someone can help.

Thx in Advance

Does your receiver flash often when you are not using the remote? I had this issue with MCE2005 just after I got Dishnetwork. I used the TWEAKMCE program to set the remote to channel two, where it didn't get so much interference from the dish receiver and remotes.

Seems some people have reported the same problem Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews: Philips Vista Remote SRM7500 - Universal remote control - infrared/radio

I suspect it may be faulty, if the above advice from jacktheknife does not resolve your problem.
