I have a 46" Phillips HDTV connected to my Acer Aspire Revo running XBMC Live. I had been controlling XBMC with both a wireless mouse/keyboard combo and a cheap MCE remote. The setup works great, except the remote will occasionally make the TV turn off and right back on. I have experimented and can reproduce this regularly. I won't use the remote for days and the TV won't power cycle. As soon as I break out the remote the power cycle issue comes back instantly.
I recently bought a Harmony 620 to replace the remotes for the TV, Receiver and MCE Remote. I thought the problem had resolved itself because the first two days I used the Harmony I didn't have any issues. Suddenly it started doing the power cycle thing today. It seems that short bursts from the remote (quickly pushing the button) will not power cycle the TV, but holding down the button (like when scrolling down long lists) will do it consistently.
Has anyone experienced something similar and if so how did you resolve it?
