[QUOTE="Journey, post: 1082302, member: 375064"] Hi CH, thanks for all your efforts in trying to help me.... I'm pretty gobsmacked right now and I'll try to explain why I know already the LG remote has BT (BlueTooth) as I already control other BT devices within my setup (Shield & PS4), however I was told specifically by the Virgin engineer who did the initial setup that the V6 boxes are not BT but in fact RF. Everything I've ever found on the internet, including the Virgin support forums (awful place imo) state the same. Your post is the first time I've seen it suggested that I can put the V6 in BT mode, if this really is this case then there's real hope I can get this sorted, I thank you sir in advance. I shall try as soon as I can get access to the TV today, being saturday will not be easy. Thanks again, I'll let you know how I get on, purely from an information point of view. EDIT... btw this is what TechRadar state about the V6 [I]There are two kinds of remotes for the V6; new hardware and a slightly improved smartphone app. The former is a lighter, sleeker version of the old TiVo remote, which now uses radio frequency (RF) instead of line-of-sight infra-red (IR). That tech also powers a ‘find me’ option – hit a button on the set-top box itself and the remote will beep. [/I] Everywhere I'm reading says the same thing... [I]Virgin TV's uses RF technology, Sky Q uses Bluetooth[/I] [/QUOTE]
