Sometime Front Row doesn't work at all. The volume does (always) so it isn't something with the connection one would say.
Could be the Menu-button of the Apple Remote.
I had great hopes when Apple recently released an Front Row upgrade, but that didn't make any difference.
To be very very very honest (hm) I did install a beta of iAlertU, and that does plug in the infra red, but I did uninstall it, but maybe didn't install all?
Just in case it has nothing to do with that beta program, does any of you have the same problems?
Thanks.
