Motorola Cable Box Problem

I've got a DCH3416 Motorola cable box. This thing is driving me crazy. It does not respond very well to the remote. It doesn't matter if I use my Harmony one or the comcast remote. I have to hit the FF button ten times before it starts to work. Any suggestions to make this better?

Take it and exchange it for another one. If it doesn't work well with the Harmony either, something must be wrong with the box.
Good luck!

They are kind of notorious for getting into this mode where they are buffering keystrokes but not executing them. I don't think there is much you can do about it.

Get a TivoHD? It's a big outlay, but in the long run (a bit over 3 years) it's cheaper. Plus the software is much better, you can expand the drive, and there are lots of network features you can take advantage of. Only thing you lose is VOD.
