    Hi,

    I've been using my remote for several months now and my observation is that the battery is depleted in every 2 weeks. I'm using branded AAA batteries (Varta, Duracell) but all type is depleting so fast. Is that normal?
    My setup and usage: the remote is connected to a small htpc (Gigabyte BACE-3160) which I use in every 1-2 days for wathcing movies but only use the remote itself for navigation, during the movie it is untouched. The PC is set up to go to sleep after 3 hours idle period, so it is in sleep mode almost all day long.
    Can it be that the remote is communicating with the USB receiver when PC is in sleep mode and that drains the battery?

    Thanks,
    /Tamás
