We are dealing with the second remote from RCA in less than 12 months and it has just quit. Anyone else have any problems with the remote quitting?

Yes!!! Ditch it and buy a Chromecast! Or a Smart Blu-Ray player. That RCA box is garbage.

I have no idea how to replace a lost remote, but I need another remote also. I dropped mine and now I can't recharge it because the internal plug broke loose. If you find out how to get another remote let me know.

I bought a Harmony 550 and get about 2 weeks before having to change batteries and I'm using alkaline batteries. I think Mike and I must have defective units. I hardly use the remote. One time I was out-of-town for 1-1/2 weeks and came back to dead batteries.

I'm having a hard time too...the housing is actually cracking and I still haven't gotten them apart :( EDIT: I ended up taking out the two screws on the back of the remote (disassembling the remote in the process) to get it detached. The seam on the remote is getting caught on the seam on the base...maybe a few times detaching and re-attaching will smooth it out.

I purchased this in April and had a problem with the remote label coming off. Nothing serious just annoying so I contacted the seller and he said I could go through him but the warranty is through TiVo so it would be faster if I just contacted them directly otherwise he could do it for me. I went through TiVo and they had a new remote sent right out. Here's what it says on the TiVo.com site: 90 Days Free Labor | One Year Parts Exchange ( http://www.tivo.com/buytivo/windowpopup-dvrlimitedwarranty_ajax.html ) Good Luck!

everything worked fine until recently. then the remote stopped working. the machine itself still works fine from just the base platform and being plugged into the wall.

My original remote worked fine for at least 3 years. It did not stop working until my granddaughter washed it. At that time I ordered another off of Amazon.com and it has also been working well.

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

I would either contact the seller you bought it from, OR ... contact RCA directly. Best of luck.

I would not recommend the RCA TV. It plays great for about 5-10 minutes then it says" signal too weak". and does not work until it cools down. It also uses a lot of batteries. Also the antenna is very fragile. Try looking for another brand. I am not happy with it. Joe

Hi! I have checked on mine, and the disc stops spinning once the device goes off... I have notices the remote isn't very responsive, I mean, I have to hold power button for a couple of seconds in order to make it turn off

I have not had this problem with mine, but did find that the remote doesn't always boot the unit. It has come on fine after pushing the top button on the back - or - simply by unplugging and plugging back in. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Why don't you try and contact RCA and see if they can offer any help, I hope this is helpful

I have had mine for almost a year and I have to reset mine frequently because it will stops responding to the remote after a while. I am gonna try and find a better matrix switcher, because it is really annoying.

I had that problem twice, once when I purchased the product and then again after a bad (18 hour) power outage. For both occasions I called the RCA company customer service # that I found on the box. They were very helpful and after that I had no problems.

Hey Brian, when you say continuous do you mean sometimes it will sweep up and down when you hold it and sometimes it won't ? Definitely a strange issue, hard to say if the remote would be at fault or the receiver, try battery change and see if it helps, good luck
