The device arrived around lunchtime and has taken me ages to get set up onto my WiFi. This has been quite a theme all along for me, and seems especially more difficult now I've upgrade the repeaters to the BT Whole House things. The problem revolves around the devices only being supported on 2.4GHz network and not liking the presence of a 5GHz one. I have an old phone which I use for initial config. It seems once they are configured they will work OK.
So anyway I have just quickly sat and programmed the telly and the TiVo. The telly - they had a list of manufacturers and for Samsung there were 4 button patterns to try, and mine work in the first. I had to Learn programme the TiVo which was pretty easy and sitting in front of the TV all the buttons worked OK from my phone. I imagine the BT box would be similarly easy.
It specifically mentions it supports ROKU which is not dissimilar to a Firestick but I've run out of test time for the day, and I'm out and about tomorrow and much of Friday.
It looks like sequences are fairly easily done. I suspect the on/off toggle will be uncircumventable but I'll look at that later, and provide a better update (incl remote support) when I have a bot more time.
