Remote not working on Panasonic plasma
Ever since I bought the tv the remote will change to channel 8 sometimes when just pulling up menu or using volume. It also can take up to 5 min to change a channel cause the box is not receiving the signal fast enough. I have upgraded to the no point remote and still have the same issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated

To test it, you can build a tent/tunnel with a pole and blanket from your arm to the STB & shoot the IR signal under cover to eliminate corruption from ambient light.
I believe DVRs are more sensitive than STBs. If yours is a DVR swap it with an STB.
The point anywhere remote still relies on the standard IR receiver on the STB. You need to hide it from ambient light to prevent corruption.
You can get creative placing the STB - like behind the TV with the front pointed at the ceiling. Bounce the IR signal off the ceiling.
If you have an iphone, ipad or ipod touch - there is a new app, actually two, that have wi-fi remote for U-verse. No more IR.
I just ordered a ipad mini to use these apps, among other things.
