Sky TVlink - handy tip

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.
Jamie, something odd about your posts, I've not seen any via Eternal September since
25 May except when others have quoted you.
They seem to be carried by other News servers though.
I noticed you are using different formats of your name (I cant see your OP in
this thread on e-s)
Your test in the tv link thread today is the first one I can see in Eternal September
since 25 May.
