WD TV HD Media Player remote problems

Does anyone ever get the problem where the remote starts to scroll without you touching the remote control? I just noticed it and it went away but i didn’t like how it started scrolling without control. just thought i’d see if anyone ran into this problem and how they fixed it.

Several people (across several forums) have reported this, and it always came down to either another remote causing interference, or a bad WD remote that has intermittent buttons.

If you put a piece of electrical tape over the IR Receiver Window, and this still happens, then there’s a hardware problem with the Mini.
