Some buttons on my FIOS remote respond poorly. Some respond twice to a single pressing motion. What's better?

Better would be for the remote to respond once to a single press! Seriously, I do not know how to answer your question as there is NO correct other reply!! Mine seems to work just as well as the OEM version (which doesn't always respond as it should either!).

I doubt the remote uses mechanical switches, but, if it does, the technical answer is contact bounce. In other words, when a button is pressed and then released its contacts don't separate cleanly and multiple signals are generated. The effect of contact bounce is taken care of in hardware or software so it it shouldn't be a problem. Given the large number (millions?) of remotes in use, if this was a common problem I'm sure it would be well known, but I don't believe that's the case. You may have a defective remote, but I'd try putting in fresh batteries to see if that is the problem.

It comes with simple instructions to program your remote. I did my FIOS remote in about two minutes and it has worked fine ever since.

I use this remote to work my FIOS DVR - I first got it to learn the code for FIOS and then pressed all the functions buttons to figure out if any had automatically picked up some of the FIOS features and they had - video on demand etc, DVR. I used the learn feature for any other features of specific buttons, like the Xbox remote buttons.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

I decided to use a different remote switch that has no button. the trick is to double tap the "high speed" button while it's running at high speed. *note there is some magic to the timing of double clicking. I usually have to do it a couple times to get it right.

Yes. Sometimes the remote control doesn't always respond on the first attempt, but will after repeatedly pushing the same function.

As long as the machine you want to control has a working remote, you can easily 'teach' the universal remote the same commands. You just put the remotes facing each other and follow the instructions in the manual. Even if you don't have remotes for those machines, the different brand program codes that come in the manual should enable you to load the universal remote. The universal remote can operate several different machines, so it should easily run your three. If you find all the functions on the FIOS/DVR don't run after loading, you can still use the other Aux button to load the commands for your DVR as though it were a separate component.

You can customize what buttons you want.. I have a button for xBox, Wii, Netflix, Roku and Fios for example. It's relatively easy to set up on line and then it's a simple sync. I really like it.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time.This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then.I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too. Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons.

The new remote is RF, not Bluetooth, so it's vastly more responsive. I was annoyed by the lag on the old remote but am very pleased by the new one.

No. I am sure there are better choices. In fact I just removed and recycled this switch. It became very unresponsive to the remote and I can no longer recommend this product.

I've never had a problem. The remote has a lot more functionality than the multifunction button on the machine. I love mine. Jim

I have Verizon Fios, does not work all the time, when it is working you can block call, screen freezes, it has been blocking two numbers that are not on list.I kept it because when it is working it blocks the number you hear one ring.
