I just started using my
Mercury II and I noticed something similiar. It didn't do it right away. When I would go into the EPG and select channels and then change it would change but then when exiting the EPG it would not exit and then it might show the picture in the background of the EPG and then it would show the info at the bottom and that would fade slowly. Like its going relly slowly and not responding to commands. I turned the switch off on the back and then back on and it still did it. It eventually stopped.
I assume it will happen again but I need to use it more. I was also setting a lot of Satellites up so maybe that had something to do with it.
I will check to make sure it is not to hot, but I am pretty sure it is not any other remote.
Any one else see this or does a software upgrade fix it. I think it has April 2006 software.
