Can I change channel on a box from another location?
My Mum has trouble using the remote control to change channels, is there a way I can do this for her from another location?

You've posted in the V6 forum so you can use the TV Control app as long as your phone or tablet is connected to the same home network as your Mum's V6 box, however it won't work from another location.
The TV Control app is available for android and ios devices.

Thank you, yes I tried that and got the same network message. Kind of limiting really as you'd have to be in the same house or very close by to be on the same network.
If you migrate to the 360 I think the Virgin TV Go app can be used to change channels using mobile network. I'm sure some knowledgeable person can say if this is true.
Maybe this ? Found on Amaz**. BroadLink RM4 Pro IR and RF Universal Remote
