Using the BT remote to operate the tv

No doubt a childish question: I have configured the BT remote so that it works my Panasonic TV as well as the Vision box. However, while I can now turn on both pieces of equipment I still have to use the Panasonic remote to get on to the AV channel, whatever that is - which seems to make a nonsense of altering the remote in the first instance. Is there a way in which I can overcome this? Perhaps I should add that the TV has Freesat built in and I would occasionally wish to use that.

Have you tried pressing Mode and then Channel Up or Down? I've never got that to work for me, but I recall that it worked for some devices.
You need to hold down the Mode Button while pressing the Channel + - Button and the TV will change channels.
However, I think the OP was trying to get the BT Vision Box to automatically grab the input Channel under HDMI Control. I don't believe this is inplemented on the Vision Box.

    hey, can i use the mac remote control on the new imac 2013? if so, how?

    No,
    The new iMacs no longer have an IR receiver.
    If you want to control your iMac remotely.
    If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
    Here's an app

  • Getting the WS Remote Hostname via the PRC?

    Is there any way of programatically determining the portal's WS Server name, as defined in the .properties file used for install/upgrade?
    I need this when calling IRemoteSession.GetExplicitLoginContext... needed to generate the URI for the first parameter to the function.
    BTW, this parameter is HIGHLY underdocumented, and I'd love to see a much better explanation of what it's expecting there. All the examples seem to use the QueryInterfaceAPI service on the WS Remote Server host, but it's not clear exactly why. My application isn't doing queries, plus there seems to be many API's in the ptapi directory. However, the QueryInterfaceAPI service does get the remote session open, so I guess its sufficient, but it still seems wrong. :)
    Thanks for any clarification you can give,
    Jesse Wolfe

    Jesse,
    You should always be using the QueryInterfaceAPI - this API is used to query for all the subinterfaces themselves, not for portal objects, so should always be used as the main URI.
    I am not sure what context you are running in when you want to determine the WS Server's name. If you are running as a portlet it is simple as it is sent by the portal (hence the ability to get the remote session from the portlet context), otherwise I'm not sure where you'd aim to look it up from (portal UI? portal DB?).

  • How to stop the AppleTV remote from affecting the desktop screen?

    When someone else is using AppleTV, and scrolling with the remote, the desktop screen often goes dark and goes to the AppleTV menu. Really annoying when someone else is trying to work. Is there a way to unconnect the two? Why does the remote also affect the desktop screen...Sorry to be obtuse, maybe there is a good reason I haven't thought of? How to stop it? Thanks.

    You don't need the IR receiver to be on to sync. Syncing is done through the network (a cabled connection or wireless network)
    You can turn of your Mac's ability to respond to remotes:
    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Click Security under the Personal category
    3. Check Disable remote control infrared receiver
    If you want it to respond to a remote, instead of disable you can pair it with a single remote, and then it will only respond to that specific remote.

  • Issues with the Apple remote icon on the desktop

    Hello. When I press the play and pause button on the remote for several seconds my computer goes to sleep. Then if I press it again it awakes it. But the white big icon right in the center of the desktop going ZZZ is still there and I cannot get it away. It is driving me mad because the only thing I can do is restart the computer. I use often the remote to make the Imac go to sleep. What is the problem? Can anyone help me please?

    I had Mira software installed and it was not Leopard compatible and was causing interferences.

  • HT3176 What is the numerical remote code for the apple remote? I would like to program another manufacturers remote to control my iPod dock

    I would like to control my iPod doc with my Denon remote.  Does anyone know he numerical remote code for an apple iPod doc?

    Hi kwg06516,
    This remote(RMT-B126A) doesn't have programmable codes because its not a universal remote. It is exclusive for your player(BDP-S3200) only. It may control other devices such as TVs but with the same brand only.
    Thanks,

  • HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

    Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app.  The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive.  I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system.  Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing.  With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next".  If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown.  I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized.  The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea.  If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around.  There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers.  It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" .  To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything.  If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA.  Any suggestions?

    Same problem here.  I have so many problems with this remote app.  Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

  • Does the iPhone Remote control a Mac mini in the same way as ATV?

    My ATV1 has packed in.
    Rather than having my MBP switched on just to listen to music through a new ATV to my hifi I am thinking of using a Mac Mini in the same way as ATV1.
    Does the iPhone Remote work with the Mini the same way as it does with the ATV or do you need to use a mouse and switch on the screen?

    If intending to use the Mini s a home theater system,
    you may want to consider getting Rowmote or Rowmote Pro
    app for the iPhone and the companion app for the Mac.
    Not only will you get Apple Remote functionality, but
    you will also get trackpad and keyboard functionality
    as well.  This will make it even easier to navigate the
    Mini on the TV.

    Hi,
    Maximum number of appliances supported—While a single Cisco Secure ACS Remote Agent can provide services to many Cisco Secure ACS Appliances, support is limited to five concurrent connections by the appliances served. For example, if you have three appliances that are primary Cisco Secure ACSes and three appliances that are secondary Cisco Secure ACSes used for failover purposes only, the remote agent can provide services to all six appliances and stay below the maximum of five concurrent connections.

  • Remote control over the Internet?

    Hi,
    I was under the impression that there was a way to use Zenworks to
    remote
    control via the Internet.
    I'm a consultant and support several NetWare 6 installations and would
    love to be able to use Zenworks to support my clients from here.
    The only way I have seen so far is either to remote control a
    workstation
    with something like PC Anywhere and run Console One remotely.
    Did I miss something?
    Is anyone doing this? How can I do this?
    Thanks
    Willem

    you're probably thinking of ZfD4.x, where you can remote control by
    just specifying the IP address.

    Only big before that is that, I enabled BitLocker ??
    Some idea ?

    Hello,
    Has anything been found out about this?  We're running into the same issue except that it's logging every 30 seconds.
    Here's some info from the machines and when it's occurring:
    It only occurs when someone is connected to the machine through Remote Desktop.
    The machines are Amazon EC2 instances.
    Seems to only happen on machines that are connecting to RODC's. 
    Machines have limited connection to RODC's through security groups (machine based firewalls).
    They are Windows Server 2012 instances, small and medium instance types.  (See instance type details here:  http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/instance-details/)
    Little or no extra software installed.  These were spun up from a basic WS2012 image and it started occurring shortly after.  There are other machines launched from the same image that do not have this issue.
    There are also some other machines connecting to the same RODC's with the same security group (firewall) settings that are not experiencing this issue.
    We are just using the standard Remote Desktop, not the 2012 Remote Desktop Services.  We have tried to install this but the install always fails.  See: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3ab983ce-9290-49ec-81e6-a3adf34cb8b2/remote-desktop-services-failed-on-windows-2012-server-amazon-vpc-ec2
    The machines (the ones having this issue as well as the ones that do not have it) all have the exact same Windows updates installed.
    Here is the detail of the event:
    NOTE: Every 30 seconds it logs this exact message - entered the RUNNING state.  I do not see other messages stating it entered the Stopped state.
