    I had to replace the batteries as part of a trouble shooting exercise the first week and I got it lined up pretty good but I was going to have to force it shut to get it 100% closed. It is rubber-banded in place at this point because I was afraid it would break if I pressed harder. Other than there being a rubber band wrapped around the remote battery door, this solution actually works out pretty good.

    For those with reception issues, you can increase/decrease the remote sensitivity on the vudu box under advanced settings.
    The remote door has a particularly tricky fit. Once you get it lined up properly though it just snaps on and off very nicely. It sorta needs to slide on, sorta snap on.

      Re: The remote

      Why isn't there a way to reverse or fast forward. While watching a movie the other day, my wife asked about something that happened in the previous scene. I couldn't remember the words she wondered aboust, so she said, "Just rewind it." I told her I couldn't and she was shocked. Her experience is with Tivo and DTV dvr's.

      So, c'mom, Vudu, give us a feal functional remote. I can control rented movies from DTV.

        Actually, you can fast forward and rewind, try using the scroll wheel next time.

            It works by you manually scrolling the wheel up or down. The faster you scroll the wheel, the faster it forwards or reverses.

              I know you're probably expecting a button that will keep the movie scanning at a steady rate until you release it or press Play, but I think you'll find that the scroll wheel is much easier once you get used to it. A really fast flick with the length of your thumb should bring you through a good portion of any movie, and you can slow or reverse your scanning quite easily with the wheel.

              Let us know what you think of it once you play with it for a while.

                Push/roll the wheel forward to go "forward".

                Push/roll the wheel backwards (i.e. towards yourself) to go "backwards".

                  Someone ignored the Guided Setup video where all this is explained...

                  The remote works great...

                    Re: The remote and all you "Seniors"

                    Guilty as charged. While I feel I did the set up that very important remote fact escaped me. On that day I was also replacing my a/v receiver with a Sont STR-DA3400ES and reprogramming my Harmony. . . now that was a big setup day!

                    Thanks for the heads up

                      Even though I have tried changing remote channels with the dip switches, and increasing/decreasing the sensitivity setting, the remote (especially the wheel) is annoyingly sluggish even at a range of only 8 feet.

                      I live in downtown Chicago. Perhaps the RF signal needs to be stronger in a location like this to overcome all the other RF traffic. Do any rural customers have these problems?
                      An Update: I hope this is helpful.

                      It may indeed be a design "flaw", having to do with the placement of the internal antenna. For the sake of accuracy, here's my setup.

                      When I experienced lag problems with the remote, I was lying on my side on the couch, with the remote resting on my right thigh. The remote was exactly 10 feet from the box antenna. And here's the key: I was operating the remote wheel with my index finger, the bottom of the remote facing my head, the top facing my feet, and the front of the remote facing the box.

                      But now I discover, when I roll the remote and operate the wheel with my thumb (as I suspect it was tested in the factory), it works flawlessly!

                      Thanks,
