I just got my KAT5 Mk2 working - Picture is excellent. All working after slight hiccup with a faulty power-supply, but Laser sent another, no questions asked.
BUT IR is a bit off in a spooky way.
I have
- Sky+ with KAT5 TX
- Toshiba 37" Flat Panel with KAT5 RX
Initially, I thought that the IR was faulty, as it didn't respond to the Sky remote. Blue LED on the RX was flashing away, but no actual response from the Sky Box two floors away.
I then discovered that it worked occasionally when the remote was pointed up at the ceiling or if I cupped my hand in front of the remote.
A bit more experimenting, and I can make things work (mostly) with the remote pointed 90 or so degrees away from the RX IR dongle. Still a bit hit and miss though.
Any ideas? - is the RX being overpowered by the Sky Remote signal (too bright or something???)
