Fixed ... Gorilla Tape over the IR Sensor.

Thanks for the help!

Where is the IR sensor on the X5 128 ai?

This of course changes the channel to "9" in the channel list. Just for clarification ... the mute key on the Vizio remote is just above the volume key on both Vizio Remotes and nowhere near the "9" key. This evidently has nothing to do with the BT400 remote pairing.

 With the BT400  factory reset, not paired and CEC disabled, the Vizio remote still sends a "9" to the player ... shows up as a 9 in a black box in the upper left hand corner. I suspect your code for the "9" button is the same as Vizio's "Mute" button.

Next I tried to get the remote to re-pair to the TV. The screen indicated it was pairing to the TV and a "1" was shown on the screen. I pressed the "mute" button and "9" showed on the screen with the corresponding change of channels.

Next I did the factory rest of the BT400 again but this time I tried the manual setup .... there is no code list for any Vizio TV in the TV list. (see attached)

My original theory was that the pairing would send the Vizio remote codes to the X5 to use kind of like the OSMC's Raspberry Pi version of Kodi does with the CEC turned on. However, it evidently does not appear that is the case and none of the BT400 keys - ON/OFF; Volume; any number key including the "9"; etc - work after an "Auto Setup".

Don't know what you can do about this but without a fix everyone who has a Vizio TV will probably not be pleased.

I'm using the BT400

If you would just read the first line of my post .... "You can add the TV remote mute button turns the channel to "9"".

You can add the TV remote mute button turns the channel to "9" in the upper left corner then goes to subscription channel 9. I turned off CEC and it still happens. Restored the remote to factory with no options and same thing. Paired remote to X5 box ... same thing.

This makes the X5 unusable for a $190 box.

Can you get it to return to sleep mode? I set my BT-400 to put the x5 into sleep mode, so it's not eating bandwidth, but it won't return to sleep after the pvr is finished.

The internet issue is a 5X issue. My phone can have internet right in front of the 5X that says it is "Connected" but "No Internet".

This issue is connected to the "No Internet" issue. I had the same thing happen. When I went to check the connection it said it was connected to the wifi but no internet.
