Re: Changing to infra red control?
Does anyone know if this is the same situation with the Stream box? I used to have an Arris 360 box which worked with my JP1 programmed remote, however my Virgin Media services have changed now and I have found I couldnt learn any off the signals on the Stream box remote, also looking at it via a digital video ist doesnt appear to be sending IR signals.304Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mirai and Network Attack
I had this issue back in 2022-2023 and had several letters. I was wondering wether it was one of the wifi security cameras I was using, I also was using 2 of the cheap android TV boxes that originate from China. Around that time one of the boxes started acting strangely so I stopped using it. I also stopped receiving the letters. I later saw youtube vidoes and read about malware built into the firmware in China on a lot of these boxes (mine was a Rockchip box which is one of the companies listed to have done this). I have just revisited the box and flashed a new firmware, while I was flashing the firmware I read that its unlikely there is any clean firmware for these boxes so have disconnected it possibly for the last time. I presume my other box (a different make) is OK as I havent been receiving anymore messages (or did Virgin just get tired of writing to me about the mirai?).681Views0likes0Comments
