Just made 5th anniversary of return to BT with same handset.</P><P>Frustratingly I am not getting a consistent response from the numerical buttons and seem to be needing deeper presses that can fail or duplicate. Back button is a nightmare for repeating intended one press action.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Second - Does anyone know of a remote that is not designed to act as if it was a bar of soap?</P> Tue, 20 Dec 2022 13:36:57 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/EE-TV-YouView/Remote-Control-handset/m-p/2268912#M70018 alananne 2022-12-20T13:36:57Z https://community.bt.com/t5/EE-TV-YouView/Remote-Control-handset/m-p/2268933#M70019 <P>It will last as long as it lasts.
