Erratic behavior in RC-64 DirectTV remotes using RF
I've got DirectTV RF receivers on my boat and am using DirectTV brand RF remotes (RC64 remotes, 1 remote associated to each receiver). The strange thing is, sometimes the remotes work and sometimes they don't. I can't quite pin it down. This weekend while out on the water and using my generator, the remotes were all working, ie. they controlled the DirectTV boxes. I got back to shore, switched over to the shore sat (instead of the dome on the top of the boat which doesn't work under cover), plugged in shore power and the remotes weren't working at all. I'm thinking it was something in that process that made them not talk to the boxes. Curious if anyone has any specific experiences that would relate to this and help guide me in my troubleshooting?
Thanks!
