Other thing I found was bright light, or too much=20
glass.  Unfortunately my STB is directly under a=20
glass shelf (with TV on top) with a full length=20
window behind it, and a ranch slider to the left.=20
8(  I've ended up putting a piece of cardboard,=20
folded 90=BA to block light from the left and=20
front.  So I can't actually see the transmitter=20
any more.

Also the 3 digit trick seems to make a difference=20
as well, since sometimes the first digit is=20
ignored.

Oh, and the other thing I found was dancing=20
backwards under a green cheese moon, while=20
wearing blue checkered boxer shorts while=20
sticking pencils up your nose, really doesn't=20
make much of a difference... 8)
