      if you can connect to the network (pc to dreambox) use the remote on the web interface. not ideal but hopefully gets you sorted until a new remote arrives.

          no it sounds like you need a new remote. unplug the box and leave it for a minute. plug it back in and see if the remote responds. if it does all well and good. if it doesnt and you want to change channels use the web interface remote.

                  open up the box unplug the cable in the centre of the board that connects to the front panel which has the led's on it and ir sensor and then plug it back in and make sure it is plugged in properly. I had a box that first off would not power on then would not allow the use of remote but a quick play with the cable and it was fine.
