Problems with remote control

[shaggs]

Hi, I have a clone dreambox 800 which has been working well, but the remote has suddenly stopped working. I can change channels using the laptop and network, but the dm800 will not respond to the remote. I have tried a new display on the 800 as that contains the receiver, and have checked the remote by looking at the sender through a phone camera, and it seems to transmit. I also have a dm500, and have tried each of the remotes on each box, but neither box responds to the other remote, so can only assume they are not compatable. I was thinking of buying another remote just in case it is still faulty, but thought I'd run it by you guys first.
Thanks for checking out the post,
Best Regards

this may seem like a daft suggestion , but.....

it is switched to dream and not tv on remote ?
make sure the big dream button lights when pressing a key on remote
