IR Blaster controlling Sky+HD box

[chrgray]

KD-65X8509C bought within the last week

I have the TV's IR Blaster setup to control a BSkyB Sky+HD box, and most controls work great.  However, the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT navigation buttons work, but always sends 3 occurrences of UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT instead of just one occurrence.

So, for example, when navigating the Sky+HD box list of recordings, pressing down skips down 3 recordings, making it impossible to select the recordings in-between.

Is there some way to update the IR blaster database to correctly only send 1 occurrence of LEFT, RIGHT, UP, or DOWN when that button is pressed?  Or is there any other solution to this problem, that will make the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT buttons behave correctly?

Has anybody else had success with this ?? I really don't want to do a factory reset unless I've got to

Just tried factory reset and it fixes the sky remote issue (may also enable other functionality such as picture in picture & digital record).
The Sony remote works surprisingly well now (!) - latest s/w updates allow Sky to be the default input with the Sky channels in the Sony menu. Still trying this out..

Hi all

Are you saying that after a factory reset that this issue is finally fixed now?

Cheers

That appears to be the suggestion , I'll give it a bash at the weekend

Hi. Wondering if you can help. Just bought a KD8005 and I am unable to access the Sky Planner/ Recorded programmes from the IR blaster. 

Any suggestions would be welcome

Thanks
