As far as I can determine, the SB remote uses Bluetooth 5; however, that remote has the ability to power on/off the Classic 5 along with the SB using its power button. My second BT-250 flashes blue instead of red. I played around with the learning instructions some more and was able to set up the following: BT-250 Source button powers on/off both the Classic 5 and the SB. The BT-250 Source Vol+ controls the SB volume up but has the weird effect of activating the home button at the same time. The Source Vol- button controls the SB volume down normally. it's a weird set of circumstances but I think it's the best I can get for now. I'll just have to get used to using the BT_250 Source button to power on/off both the Classic 5 and SB, while ignoring the Classic 5 power button. Setting the SB sound high and using the BR-250 vertical Volume +/- button will allow me to ignore the Source Vol+/Vol- buttons altogether. It's a work around but should avoid extra button presses. Thank you Emporium for your prompt reply and I apologize for my delay in replying. I't been a hectic few days. Cheers from Prince Edward Island, Canada!

I have 2 Classic 5's. On Box #1 the BT-250 controls the Classic 5 and TV, as well as my Home Theatre using the source (power) and Source Vol+ & Vol- controlling sound on the Home Theatre device. I want to do the same on Box #2, substituting a sound bar for the Home theatre device. (The sound bar has power & vol+ / Vol- on both the device and remote). No problem programming Box and TV power on Box #2 BT-250 but I can't get the remote to control the Sound Bar's power and volume using Source, Vol+, Vol-. Can someone who has done this on a sound bar, walk me through the steps? Please and thank you. ...Bill...

Although I have a few (mainly mobile) devices using wireless, I have learned through much trial and some error that ethernet is the most trusted, consistent, and reliable connectivity option. A day's work running 8 cables throughout the house from a reliable switch and my connectivity headaches became history. Probably cheaper and less swearing than additional router purchases and endless configuration attempts. Choose your weapon, lol.

I never have any issues with updates since I began using Techdoctoruk's 2 apps - App Killer and Cache Cleaner. I run APP KILLER at the end of each streaming session and Cache Cleaner about once a week. My conclusion is this - IPTV & Streaming is a 'weakest link in the chain' technology (still) and you get more consistent results running your box lean and mean. Good luck folks and happy streaming!
