When I make a kee stroke on the remote, multiple characters appear.
When I make a kee stroke on the remote, multiple characters appear. Where is the problem - in the remote or in the box? If I manage to still specify the movie, everything is working fine.
Update
The real question in my first report was what part of the set has a problem - remote or the boxee box itself. And let me remind you about the problem: I hit one charecter, e.g. "c" and I receive a series of characters on the TV screen: "ccccccc...". Since I reported the problem I loaded an application on my iphone for the remote and it worked fine from there. I identified the part in this way - it is remote. I think it is most probably a mechanical/circuitry problem inside the remote and expected somebody to tell me that. Right now I am expecting somebody from the manufacturer to tell me that they are ready to replace my remote - I paid a lot of money for the product.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

It is NOT the Remote that is causing this "phantom repeat", nor is it the battery or "Pairing" the remote to the Boxee Box. Pairing the remote to individual Boxee Boxes does NOT fix the multiple repeated responses though, it least not on my THREE Boxee Boxes on three different TV's. I've carefully pair each remote to individual "BB's", none turn on or control other BB's in the house. Still, one of my BB's exhibits the "phantom repeats" to single key presses, an I know it's not the factory BB controllers fault because it also happens with two different Android BB Apps I have on my Google Nexus 7 Tablet, which does control other BB's just fine with no phantom repeats, but NOT the one BB that is exhibiting the Phantom Repeats.. I'm afraid the problem is a bug in the hardware on perhaps a corruption that develops in the Firmware and a Complete Reset of the BB is the only thing that fixes it .... temporarily, when it starts happening again after a few weeks.

So what is the iPhone app?

There is no iPhone app, thank CrApple for that because Boxee Box competed with their inferior CrAppleTV. There are two Android apps: "Boxee" and "Boxee Thumb". Boxee also gives you a keyboard on the Android device to input to your Boxee Box.

I'm facing the same issue, occurred all of a sudden. I followed the advice from @blueskymining but a complete reset didn't fix the problem at all. At least, now I know that is not firmware/configuration dependant. It is either an hardware problem, or rather an interference problem, since it occurs with a variable rate and incidence during the remote usage.
