    I have read in a few places that there is a bug with the remote that causes a complete failure. The easy fix is to leave it without any batteries in it for a day or so.

    Trust Microsoft to make a remote control that needs to be rebooted regularly. They should have put <ctrl> <alt> <delete> buttons on it to make it easier for us...

    if it is the same as my mce remote there is a problem if the buttons are held down for too long. the solution is to take the batteries out and short circuit the terminals. apparently that discharges a capacitor. anyway not quite sure how/ why it works, but for my it sorts the problem out.
