June 23, 20242 yr There's one channel that I watch a lot so when I'm done watching, I just leave my Classic on that channel. When I come back later in the day or maybe the next day, the channel is always switched to UK BBC4. What's going on here and how do I stop it?
June 23, 20242 yr more information is always better. do you power off your box or leave it on? what's your power off setting? is that Mac or XC API? how do you turn back on your device? do you press any button other than power? Edited June 23, 20242 yr by Ryu
June 23, 20242 yr Just curious, is the UK category one of the first categories in your providers natural lineup ? Reason I ask, is that I have one friend who swear that his box, every time he turns it on, it goes to the 4th channel (yes channel #4 without any renumbering active)) in the first category (which in his case is a 24/7 channel). Funny part, I use the same service and it has happened to me 2 or 3 times (same channel), but originally I ignored it, as a fluke, that maybe I had accidently hit some button before powering down.
June 23, 20242 yr I am using the BT-400 remote And on one of my units when I turn off the tv it transmits a 8 the the stb (same frequency as the off signal as the tv's off) Just saying may be it I hit last channel and it takes me back to my regular channel

It's channel 8.

When I turn off the TV using the TV remote, it changes my stb to channel 8. Well done pugsycan!
June 23, 20242 yr Lol.. Same codes as some of the 2nd tier brands like TCL, Haier, Vizio, etc.. My mom's does the same when she turns on/off her electric fireplace, she has a Haier 🙂 Since the remote is connected to the STB using BT, you can try covering the IR receiver on the front of the STB. However there are some cases I've seen, that power on for the STB requires IR. But you can experiment. Edited June 23, 20242 yr by Emporium
