The Athena Community

I just got the iVoice  couple days ago. I had read quite a few reviews about it before purchasing. The only real disappointment is that the remote control is so picky. It only reaches 10 feet away and and you have to aim it so perfectly. Is this normal? Is there a chance that the battery could be low? It is pretty frustrating to have a remote with such little reach when I had read from other reviews that it had a great reach (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod/review/athena-technologies-ivoice-wall-mountable-speaker/).  Please respond.

Me too! I bought mine through Amazon where one reviewer said the remote function was wonderful - I have bought two iVoices and BOTH have lousy remote function. I wrote to Support here twice but have never even had an acknowledgement. How's that for support. I have since bought a programmable remote which seems to make things slightly better, but again, as you said it is 'picky' Anyone else found a workaround except from throwing the unit away?
