stan767 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks. Didn't realize I had to enable that on the tv itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan767 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 So I have another problem. Pushing the power button turns off the tv and the box and then pushing the power button again only turns the tv on, the box stays off. Am I missing another setting somewhere?

dishuser Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I know an update was sent last month for the bt-300 pm allaboutbuzz about the 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan767 Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 My provider spoke with tech support today and they told him that the bt-400 syncs with the tv properly on the x5 box running os11. There is an app on that box which handles the CEC signals from the tv. This app is not included in os9. So I need to use 2 remotes to operate my tv box.

Emporium Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) For these cases, I prefer the BT200. No it is not a smart remote, but you can at least learn the POWER/SOURCE/VOL+/VOL- buttons of your TV remote and at least you don't need a second remote. Yes, you press one button to turn on the TV, and one button to turn on the buzz box, but it works well. But obviously, this was probably not a choice when the box was purchased, since I think the new boxes come with a BT300.

But I'm a little old school and not crazy about all this "automation" with CEC and stuff. If I want to turn on my TV, I will hit the button to turn on my TV. If I want to turn on my Buzz box, I will do so. With the old buzz boxes, I used to turn the box on first and only turn the TV on about a minute later, since late at night, I did not want to here the boot animation music track, since it was quite loud. I still have my StreamPro G1, and have moved it to my Garage TV, since boot audio track was a little much. I'd live to seen one last OTA update to "just" remove the boot audio track on that (or even an update ZIP file we could apply ourselves if we wanted) I have set my main TV to automatically go into suspend mode if no signal for 15 seconds, and auto wake up with signal presence. Works great. I just turn on the buzz box, and my TV comes to life No "smart" remote really needed. And I have set the TV volume to default to about 70%, and just use the volume control on the buzz box (ie: turned off the "force max volume" option). Super simple.

Hey most TVs nowadays have tiny speakers (and no sound bar on in). After that, I control the volume from the Buzz box variable output). So I can put the buzz box at 25%, and the volume is reasonable. Hey if I need, I can always use the secondary volume controls on the BT200 But hey, deaf ? I certainly don't have all my hearing, considering the number of rock concerts I had gone to as a kid. But that's not all bad. I asked an old buddy of mine how he managed to get to 50yrs of marriage, and he gave me an honest answer. He lost most of his hearing after about 5 years, and after that it was great. lol. But once I hit 50, eyesight has gone down also. Oh well. Such is life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboed Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I just purchase a new x5 with a BT 400 remote. I can turn off the Box and the TV with one click. My power on the box is set to suspend. Will the buzz tv app record a schedule program in suspend mode or do I need to keep the Box on? If so, is there a way to keep the box on and turn the tv Off. Also, if I go to a different program does the buzz tv run in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emporium Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Like already mentioned, will work in both suspend and powered off (box will power on to record anything scheduled). And in case you eventually want to decouple the TV power and box power (ie: keep box on while turning TV off), you can also just turn off both HDMI CEC options (actual and virtual) on the buzz box (may also need to turn off on TV also). Then the box will ignore it when the TV is turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reelfun Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I also have the issue of the remote only powering on/off the x5 or TV not both together. Funny thing is it use to work now doesn't. Not sure if an update caused problem or something else. Based on support I bought new remote and still have the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
