Remote
Hi Y"all Is anyone having trouble turning on their GT Combo box with the remote?I can turn the box off,but not on with the remote.Thanks
Re: Remote
With the remote coupled via Bluetooth the "OFF" is via Bluetooth.
The "ON" is via normal IR line of sight.

Re: Remote
I still use old remote commands OK with the GTCombo. I will test for power.Cornhusker wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 1:34 amI uses to be able to turn the box "on "even with the V8UHD remote,but that does even work now.
Remember that the GT Combo has a function for the power button. A long press will bring up the power button menu on screen.
Check that your unit can be seen by the IR remote, not hidden away in a cabinet.
Test with the remote very close.

Re: Remote
No Tom W I cannot turn on the box like I was able to do with the V8UHD remote.I went right up to the ir sensor with the GT Combo remote and still no results.To turn the box on presently is to disconnect/reconnect the power cable.It is not the batteries or the remote because I can turn off or on my V8UHD with the GT Combo"s remote.

Re: Remote
I now have zero control of the box.The remote is working right on other boxes.
Re: Remote
Try plugging in a mouse and then maybe try a reset.

Re: Remote
Reset did not fix. EVerything normal before last firmware update. Infrared on GTCOMBO is somehow disabled.

Re: Remote
Cytl1d You need to go into the settings and call up the set-up wizard where it shows you the animated remote flashing the two buttons to hold down while pointing the remote at the box infared sensor.It will tell you when the remote and box are coupled.I got mine working again.
Re: Remote
Flash firmware via USB fixed issue. REmote working normal

Re: Remote
Yes I can turn off and on with the GT combo remote,but not the V8UHD remote.I upgraded the firmware and I am unable to turn the GTCombo box off now that I upgraded,strange.
