Re: SofaBaton X1 remote
Hello @KP8 A bit of a thread bump... I recently bought the X2 and cannot get it control VM360 box. There is a VM 360 device but it doesn't work..even the "fetch from cloud" command search. Do you mind if I ask, where you say you got working, is that with all commands? Discrete power off and on, record, numbers, menu, navigation etc? If so I can ask Sofabaton to re-synchronise the commands. Thanks Chris59Views0likes0CommentsRe: Apple TV Odd Behaviour
Me too. Apple TV adverts play, kind of like SkyTV "turn turn" adverts and culminating with the Ted Lasso "Believe" and then blank screen. No buttons work during or after the adverts. If I use the home button which is the only one that works it Exits to home screen. And then if I return back to Apple TV app goes to black screen. In frustration I hardly reboot and then try again Apple TV then just repeats the adverts and then to black screen. I also tried to search for programmes in Virgin programme guide "Severance" which I know is Apple exclusive. Selecting this went straight to black screen Apple TV is basically dead at this point. Been on hold to speak with support over 1 hour now (still on hold). Thanks211Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2.4ghz
Rename the 5 signal to name-5 That'll ensure continued connectivity for existing devices on the 2.4 signal but then your mobile and laptop etc you can reconnect in the new -5 network. This works well but be warned if you have the hub5. The newer router has a bug,or at least it did 9 months ago, and doesn't like having the WiFi hostnames renamed from factory setting as it seems to break DNS.

Yes possibly I find my router used to turn to crap at midnight. Literally disconnected anything connected over WiFi. I think some maintenance process. I called to complain. The agent said there were "no known issues", but coincidentally whatever was happening every night at midnight stopped.151Views0likes0CommentsRe: Audio Sync problem with new 360 box
If only a short blip when changing refresh rate it is unavoidable and isn't necessarily a sign something wrong with the 360. When refresh rate changes your TV will need to sync into that updated refresh rate. Suspect it's why on the 360 they fix resolution to a single value.. Someone testing probably decided for themselves they didn't like that blip when switching between one resolution and refresh rate on menus and another on content so set box to output single resolution and rate always to avoid complaints. They probably didn't understand some people don't mind the blip to get both native resolution and native rates.2.8KViews2likes0CommentsRe: Audio Sync problem with new 360 box
I agree. I don't understand how a signal can be in sync 369 hdmi into amp into TV. But out of sync, 360 hdmi into TV and then ARC into soundbar.* One thought is that included on the metadata in the HDMI signal there might be lipsync data. Has anyone tried turning off hdmi CEC to disable that? Try first on the 360 box, then TV, then soundbar. *Actually I can understand and it might not be a popular opinion.. It suggests an issue with the TV picture and TV passthrough. Mention of LG lots makes me think it's something going on with the LG. I have LG E6 and in that model I can say there is definite issues with the audio output via the ARC channel, as follows: Before I got my Shield to send Amazon and Netflix etc from there initial amp and then TV I was using ARC for getting audio from the Amazon and Netflix apps on TV. I had horrible lipsync issues, the TV audio processing introduced very audible lag too the audio that the small amount of advance/lead adjustment on the TV couldn't fix. And of course because the audio is the one delayed no delay setting on there amp would help. It was the reason for me getting the Amazon fire, and then the Shield in the first place. Turning off the lipsync adjustment in the TV and enabling TV picture processing to slow down the picture helped. Kind regards Chris2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Audio Sync problem with new 360 box
Hello. Just replying to my own message to confirm after a few tests I don't see any issues with unpredictable lipsync issues. I'm normally very sensitive to that as my wife would vouch when I charge any multitude of options whenever we watch content from the Shield. I have between 65ms and 70ms (I've not decided which) of delay dialed into the Amp and tried both 50i video and movies. I've also tried turning on the force Dolby option which I can see up samples from Dolby Digital to DD+ for that to work So for now for me at least I'd say 360>Amp>TV is not impacted. Going back to those people having issues. Are you getting the issue only via ARC from TV into sound bars? Thanks everyone2.2KViews2likes12Comments
