Hi,
I like to check before just giving up. The samsung remote used to control everything, including the virgin box before we upgraded to 360
So it's just to see if anyone knows of any work around or fix either for the samsung remote/app no longer working with 360 or if it is correct that the 360 remote only does what it's currently doing in controlling the volume, power and source selection for the tv and not the TV apps when opened
Setting your Samsung remote manually to PaceDCR7111 used to control the 360 box, but according to this Thread it may now have stopped working, but the most recent post on this Samsung Thread say's it still works. The Virgin 360 box is also a Ziggo Mediabox Next in the Netherlands and that is how my LG smart remote is set, (might have just needed Ziggo), and controls the 360, so check to see if your Samsung recognises Ziggo.
These instructions on how to set the remote manually came from the Samsung Thread
You need to:
1) select satellite box > tv directly
2) enter your postcode
3) select virgin
4) select hdmi that your virgin box is connected to
5) hit channel up and select no for 3 or 5 times. After that it will offer you to search for model of your box manually.
