Re: sky+ remotes are a waste of time
You haven't tried washing them in the dishwasher have you?
I only once had to change the batteries in the remote for the plain box, in about 7 years. My present + remote is still going strong after 5 months.
They may be shorting out, thus draining the batteries. You are sure they are in the right way round?

Re: sky+ remotes are a waste of time
How long you had sky+? If its not long give sky a call and they might send you a new one for free.
I had a sky+ remote that stopped responding to buttons being pressed, I called and they sent a new one for free. Then my old one started working fine so I ended up with 2 working remotes. Perfect for my tv link upstairs.
