Title: Media Remote Has Horrible Range.
Post by: 3rdnfnlbst on January 02, 2006, 09:28:00 AM
So i got the bonus remote with my 360, and I went out and bought the universal (not logitech) and it seems that when i am laying in bed,  about maybe 8-9 feet fro mthe 360, and off to the right a little bit, not majorly, but slightly, i cannot use the remote to move around on the console.  The controller works fine but just the remote is what I am having problems with.  Anyone else having problems with this?

I have similar issues with the free bonus remote.  Like when the DVD drive is open, I have to stick my arm way out and point it at the IR port.   dry.gif
You aren't alone.

yeah, but I just sold the bonus remote and bought the Universal remote, for 30 bucks.  And it has the same range on it as well, the only plus is i can use it for my tv to change the inputs and volume.  I thought about returning it and getting the logitech one, but i would have to smack my self for spening 130 bucks on a stupid remote.

I think the problem is that the IR led is very deep inside the console.
