Recently I replaced the distribution amplifier in our apartment with a
TVlink-enabled one.
It all worked fine, except in the kitchen, where the response from the Sky
remote was very intermittent and unusable, even though received picture was
fine.
The kitchen is the shortest cable run from our amplifier, and double-checking
connections in an effort to make it work proved unsuccessful.
Anyway, after some experimenting it appears that, rather than being weak, the
return path TVlink signal is actually too strong. The problem was therefore
"solved" by sticking two layers of ordinary white paper over the kitchen
remote's IR emitter.
It works perfectly now. The paper looks tatty though.




This is a test.
