I have two mvp's..one in the bedroom..one in the family room.

One of them is a D3A and One is a D1. The one in the bedroom works great, responds quickly to remote, etc. The one in the family room plays video fine, etc. but it takes six or eight presses of every button to get the remote to work, sometimes it will work well for four or five remote presses in a row, then start being sluggish again..

I switched the two mvp's around..same problems in the family room with the mvp from the bedroom plugged in..

I do have a remote extender in the family room as the components are in a cabinet with a closed door, but I left the door open and pointed the remote directly at the mvp with same results..

I feel I have ruled out the mvp unit itself as switching them around yielded same results.

I have used the two remotes interchangeably with same results..

Offhand,it would seem like a network issue, but the family room mvp (the one with remote problems) plays video just fine and I don't have problems with it disconnecting, etc..sure does act like a buffering thing, though..

Most of the time only one mvp is on at a time, but results are the same with both turned on.

Anyone seen a problem like this in the past? Any ideas..

I've increased the buffering on the LAN (local area network) to help things as it has improved performance on the MVP and GBPVR. There are so much factors to come into play. I should write a book on the subject, I might just do that? Smile


How do you increase the buffer for the LAN?

Good tip, I'll give it a try.

If any one cares, the tab is "Advanced Settings", and the setting is "LAN Request Buffer Size" in the lower right-hand part of the tab.

LAN Request Buffer Size (reduces network delay)
In higher latency Networks, delays may be encountered with the default request buffer size (4356 decimal). The range of this parameter is 1024 - 65535 bytes. Testing has shown that, in most standard Ethernet environments, if memory is available 16384 bytes is a better choice. This tweak only applies to LANs, and helps with slow browsing of large directories.
