Product Description

Regain seamless control over your satellite viewing with the Melbon Free Dish Set-Top Box Remote Control. Specifically engineered as a high-quality replacement for Melbon and a wide range of local DVB Free-to-Air (FTA) digital receivers, this remote ensures you can navigate your favorite channels without hassle. Its robust build and tactile button layout make it a reliable companion for daily television use. At Robogears, we recommend this remote for its "plug-and-play" simplicity—there is no complex programming required. Simply insert batteries, and it is ready to communicate with your set-top box using standard Infrared technology.

Detailed Key Features

  • Universal FTA Compatibility: Specifically tuned to work with Melbon receivers and a majority of unbranded/local Free-to-Air DVB boxes commonly used in India.

  • Ergonomic Design: Lightweight and slim profile with a curved back for a comfortable grip during long browsing sessions.

  • Soft-Press Tactile Buttons: High-quality rubber pads provide clear feedback and are designed to withstand thousands of presses without fading or sticking.

  • Comprehensive Control: Features a full numeric keypad, volume/channel toggles, and dedicated menu navigation buttons (EPG, Info, Fav).

  • High-Impact ABS Body: Constructed from durable ABS plastic to protect the internal circuitry from accidental drops and daily wear and tear.

All Technical Details

  • Technology: Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) over Infrared.

  • Battery Type: 2 x 1.5V AAA (Alkaline recommended for best performance).

  • Control Angle: Effective up to 30 degrees from the center of the receiver.

  • Color: Classic Black.

  • Weight: Ultra-lightweight for easy handling.

Prototyping & Engineering Tips (Robogears Exclusive)

  • Diagnosis Protocol: If your set-top box is not responding, use your smartphone's camera to look at the IR LED on the front of the remote. Press any button; if the LED flickers on your phone screen but not to the naked eye, the remote is working and the issue may be with the set-top box receiver sensor.

  • Signal Line-of-Sight: To ensure the best response in your Pimpri home, keep the front of the set-top box clear of obstructions. IR signals cannot pass through walls or opaque cabinets.

  • Battery Maintenance: If the remote range decreases or you have to press buttons harder, replace the AAA batteries immediately to prevent chemical leakage that could damage the internal PCB.

  • Interference Check: Avoid placing the set-top box directly under heavy fluorescent lighting or in direct sunlight, as strong UV/IR light can sometimes interfere with the remote's signal reception.

Package Includes

  • 1 x Melbon Free Dish Set-Top Box Remote Control
