Remote Control Disable - How?
 

I am trying to find a way to disable the remote control function on my samsung stb. I have a second stb which is in the bedroom and linked with a digisender. all works fine, except when i use the remote control, both boxes change channel. I use one for videoing, so i can watch a different channel on the other. There is a setting in the engineers menu, (i think) but when i change it to disabled, it reverts back to the default setting when stb is rebooted. Anyone got any info or ideas?? Many thanks in advance

There's a front-panel combination for Pace boxes, but I don't know about Samsung ones.

Put something infront of the IR sensor on the STB?
I used to put a CD case (with the ilnay card) infront of mine to stop myself changing channels when recording something!!!
A book would also do the trick, just something to block the signal getting to it.

I know i could put something in front of the box, but that isnt what i want.

hi and :welcome: to the site , tbh i have no idea if what you want is achievable , as a short term measure go with MikeyB's idea until someone lets you into the secret , if indeed there is one :erm:

How often do you have to reset your box, for it to be tecious to go through the engineering menu?

Re: Remote Control Disable - How?
 

the box has to be rebooted to get out of the engineers menu, thus the setting is lost immediately
