My fox-tel remote will not operate to change channels or anything else
Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Could you please tell me when and how did the problem occur?
Do you remember what preceded the problem?
on turning on the TV this morning and went to change from free to air to fox tel with the remote and got no response I then tried new batteries but to no avail
Okay, what else troubleshooting have you done except changing the batteries?
none not sure where to go next
Okay, got it.
Let's try to reset the remote. Please, unplug your Foxtel box from the power outlet, then press and hold the "back" and "play" buttons on the remote for five seconds.
This should reset the remote.
still no use with the remote
Okay, got it.
Let's check if the IR sensor is working.
To check the IR sensor on your Foxtel remote using a camera, follow these steps:
- Turn on the camera on your smartphone or digital camera.
- Point the remote at the camera lens.
- Press a button on the remote and observe the camera screen to see if the IR emitter on the remote is flashing.
no result no flashing on the remote
Okay, got it. Are you sure the new batteries are good?
I believe so but will insert new ones to double check
Okay, it would be great.
from the same packet of batteries I have changed them over and guess what it works so you have solved another mystery
Does your remote work now?
yes
Great!
