Has anyone had any luck getting a Harmony hub-based remote to talk to the new 360 box? Looks to me like the new remote is bluetooth not IR, so the 'teach commands' functionality doesn't work. I think that Harmony does have bluetooth, but no idea how you'd go about pairing it etc.

yup mine works perfectly, it needs to set up as a Ziggo Mediabox Next
Harmony remotes only send out IR commands, but they work with the 360, in some respects better as the stop buttons works and you can have a button that takes you right to my shows, I also used the skip button to add a macro that sends play and skips back 30 seconds like the play after ff on the tivo used to do

I'd love to know how you discovered that would work - but yes, it does indeed work, thank you!

I’m sorry but I have absolutely no idea to perform the task you suggest 😳

Hi I have Logitech Harmony hub and the (basic) Companion remote
thanks for the tip re: adding TV 360 as “Ziggo Next” DVR box - this worked a great as I was worried I had ruined my setup and would need to rely on the 360 remote!
the only 2 buttons I could not map from the 360 remote were “TV” (found right of Home) and the “Context” button (3 dots found above channel up)
I can live with losing “TV” but it appears that “Context” gives shortcut to Subtitles which is a quite important for me and others I’m sure
Any tips for how to program these 2 outstanding buttons on Harmony?
thanks

If you press the info button you can see the audio and subtitles option to the left, or you can set subtitles for each profile

Not doubting this doesn’t work (choosing Ziggo media box next) but I can’t get it to work with my harmony ultimate one. Do I need to completely remove all connected devices form the harmony hub and set up fresh? I selected Ziggo , removed TiVo device; but Ziggo just doesn’t have any interaction with the box when you run the automatic test. Any idea where I might be going wrong?. Do I need to then custom add buttons or something? Sorry , just a bit lost.😳
