hi guys father in law has an f5s ,recently the remote became unresponsive so after changing batteries and same result we borrowed another remote and again unresponsive,i found that if i held remote right up to ir on f5s i could change channels...now his "channels" stopped working, i checked weather forecast and youtube and they were working or so i thought, youtube was populating but nothing would play, so checked in secret menu , address was correct but kept flashing between login and disconnect ..now i've done away with lan connection and am using wifi dongle and "channels" are working again, has anybody else had problems like this and would a software update do any good or is it just on its last legs
