XRS4500 remote stopped working

BuzzTv XRS4500

My remote freezes or stops working and I have to remove the batteries for it to reset and work again.....anyone know what's up with it?

I have to use my remote for the 3000. It seems very odd.

Thanks , yes it is paired, but I have changed the batteries twice since April. This seems to be hard on batteries, maybe I should try some lithum batteries?

I find that happens with many devices and I have to clean the battery contacts in the remote and while at it on the batteries too. They build up an oxide.

Get rechargeables, easier on the pocketbook in the long run

Yor are correct, however this remote only months old at the most. It should happen that quick

Probably has a lot to do with the light. Might be your just using it to much,quit channel surfing. Mine have been in the remote for a few months.

What kind of rechargeable? most are 1.2 volt are they OK I know some loose charge faster than others but would like to get the longer lasting ones I need about 17 AA and 10 AAA or so, so that I just put the in everything? Thanks

Any good place cheap to get them ? I am trying not to break the bank.

I ordered a new Buzz TV remote from Amazon which was much better than the one that came with my box. Remember they have to supply you with a remote other wise you can't program them.
