No. I've changed the batteries.

Thanks

Yeah, but did you use fresh ones?

I have finally learned to throw away (actually recycle) batteries of
unknown age :-)

You might try using a cheap learning remote (one that can copy the
output of another) to see if the new one - once it learns the old one's
commands - is more consistent.

If the remote itself is at fault, it might take a few tries to teach
each command, but once it learns them, the new remote should be
dependable - *if* the problem is a weak remote and not the receiver. It
also requires that the remote uses infrared and a normal coding scheme -
otherwise the learning remote can't learn.

I've got a device (Not TT) that uses an IR remote, and if there is too
much daylight on the receiver it just won't work. Problem in a
convertible, or in bright-ish sun with roof closed!

The 910 remote control uses RF and not IR.

Have recenly updated the satellites. (Common update using TomTom Home.)
That made it work again. Starting to look like a software bug.

That kills my idea upthread to use a learning remote. Thanks for the
info (that I was too lazy to look up).

What is your NC? Unfortunately, the remote control at the TT GO 910 only works with the original NC-7903!
The higher the NC remote control works only blue tooth version 4M02.000
