But now I can only use one sat-command. Then the
TV-button blinks twice and now the remote works
for TV.
One of the batteries in your remote is completely dead and the others are working too hard pushing current through the dead one. This results in sudden voltage shifts in the total voltage of the set of batteries, which results in all the strange behavior you've described.
Replace all the batteries (even if you identified which one was worse than the others, using a mismatched set of batteries will just get you back to this condition later).
