does this problem occur with the Helios SR1 release?
which remote provider (RSE or Remote Tools) are you using?

I have the same problem and yes, it still occurs with Helios SR2.

Is there any documentation about the different service providers?
They look very similar and I don not know which one is the appropriate selection.  I tried them both, but it makes no difference: it doesn't work at all.

Old bug. Please check if this is still a problem and reopen if necessary.
