Remote control mystery!

[FRANTIC FRANC]

Went to my Citroen van today and the remote key fob didn't work until I was right next to the drivers door, never played up before...

went to open my electric gates to drive out - didn't work! Never played up before today...

Later that day when the wife got home she said she had problems with the Freelander remote fob!

Now this is weird - solar flares perhaps? Just wondered if anyone else had remote problems today...

Have you seen 'Enemy of the State'?

It's turned colder and all the batteries are suffering low voltage. Apart from the I heard there was a space ship in your area the night before :-)

doesn't explain my gate - checked the main board and the receiver module isn't working, ordered a new one yesterday and hoping that sorts as the next step is to replace the whole mainboard

That's it the, aliens.

Check out the house opposite, they're watching you!

If someone close by is transmitting - something (vhf / uhf). That really messes keyfob transmitters up real good.

Just lifted from the NASA website.

On Nov. 9, 2012, at 10:24 a.m. EST, the sun emitted an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME). A CME is a solar phenomenon that can send billions of tons of solar particles into space and can reach Earth one to three days later. CMEs can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.

Now this is weird - solar flares perhaps? Just wondered if anyone else had remote problems today...

I had failed Sky+ recordings on that day. Coincidence?

[Bibs]

I saw this outside the front door, perhaps it's related too...

[Sparky]

another one of your wheels flying off?

[Bibs]

Who knows!

I thought someone had thrown their sombrero into the air with delight at seeing the Bibster!
