The Humax remote stopped working, and I was just about to throw it
away and buy another when I thought I would google the problem. Who
would have thought that you can reboot a remote control?

Maybe, you guys all knew that, but it surprised me.

by taking the batteries out?

I have to do that frequently with all of mine


I took the batteries out, but that didn't work. What it needed was to
hold three buttons down for several seconds. I then needed to
reprogramme it with the code for our TV.


Humax might point out that that is entirely consistent with you (or
anyone else with access to the remote) having (accidentally or
otherwise) having held down said three buttons for several seconds and
then entered a different code.Â* But I expect you'd have to make a real
nuisance of yourself before they asked your age and when you last had a
memory assessment


Last used by my darling wife. I explained several times that she needs
to switch off the recorder and the TV. She knows which buttons to press.
For reasons I cannot understand, she insists on pressing them both
together, rather than sequentially. Until now, that hadn't caused a
problem, other than one or other of the gadgets staying on. I suspect
that this wasn't a use case that was subject to much testing by Humax.
