I'm in the same boat. I got my Remote yesterday but don't want to upgrade to 3.0 until this and a couple of the other known bugs are fixed (I'm on 2.8 that doesn't support the Remote). It's pretty frustrating having it just sitting there, but luckily I'm really busy until the weekend, so don't really have time to noodle anyway. Here's hoping they locate the problem and upload a fixed FW in the next few days, haha!
Cheers,
Sam
