You point it at the DVR, push the button and nothing happens. You take better aim, push again and it works. After this happens a few times you begin to wonder if this old remote control is wearing out on you. So, you think to yourself, "I'll use it until it dies then get a new one."
Or maybe you just adjust your chair a little bit to insure the remote has a good clear shot at the device. That seems to help and you feel good about it until your button push doesn't stop the fast forward, so you push again, then you have to reverse to get to the spot you wanted. After a couple of episodes of this you are 'pissed' and ready to throw the controller away.
You're looking at the remote to see if it's damaged in any way, but these things today are almost indestructible. While looking it over you notice a removable cover on the back side. You open it and it has batteries!!! It occurs to you they may need to be replaced. But you just bought the DVR 6 months ago!!!
Your remote is in control again! It's like you bought a new one!
JD, checking batteries here in the BToS...
