Having a very frustrating issue with what is commonly refered to as a "Sky IR Eye" setup.
My setup is a Technomate Digital HD Modulator receiving HDMI input from a Humax Free-View PVR with it's RF output feeding a Labgear LDL104RR, line powered, IR power pass distribution amplifier which in turn feeds 3 remote TV's.
The Technomate Modulator fully supports remote IR operation and provides a switchable 9V. DC supply on it's RF output to power the remote distribution amplifier and the associated remote Sky IR eye's, similar to the setup on "RF-2" output on the early Sky boxes.
My problem is, two of the remote TV location points work perfectly with respect to remote control of the Humax PVR, one remote TV location will not reliably control the Humax PVR via it's Sky IR Eye link even though all 3 remotes TV's are displaying perfect video and audio from any source.
What I've tried to date without success:
1/. Substituted the "Sky IR Eye" between points, all 3 work perfectly at the 2 "non-faulty" locations.
2/. Tried the "faulty location" on all 4 amplifier ports (with & without other ports connected).
3/. Supplied the distribution amplifier power with an external 12V. DC PSU in stead of using the 9V. DC supply from the modulator.
4/. Substituted the TV.
5/. Checked/replaced all the connectors from distribution amp. to TV (via. the Sky IR Eye)
6/. Ran a complete new cable from distribution amp. to problem location avoiding wall termination plate and using "F" connectors throughout.
As virtually everything has now been substituted I'am completely out of ideas, any suggestions welcome.
