Hi all,

I have recetly been provided with a new digital cable box, the Samsung Virgin Media V Box (Model: SMT 21110c) and I cannot find the settings on my TiVO box that will allow me to change the cable box channel. I also have the digital cable adapter.

My apologies if this answer can be found in the forums, I couldn't find it and I am very new to forums!

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

~ Tony

Hello there and welcome.

Using the V Box with Tivo is well-documented on this forum.

Here's a couple of threads to get you started:

I don't have a V+ Box so can't answer your question directly

And neither does tonysan by the sounds of it

Oh bother I need to read learn to read proper

Well in that case, Tivo can certainly control the V Box as I and a few others on here have one.

Hiya Carl and everyone else!

Thanks for the threads and help, but still not having much joy. When I contacted TiVO customer support in the first instance that the channel changing wasn't working, we went through a lot of different settings under the "set top box control" within the TiVO menu, so now I have no idea what settings to try...

Within the TiVO menus "Recorder & Phone set up | Set top box control, My current settings are as follows...

Set-Top Box Brand: Samsung
Box Channels: No leading Zeros
Set Top Box enter key: (enter key to complete channel): No
Front IR Blaster: No, do not use the front IR Blaster

and for the IR Test code if anyone knows one that works, I would be grateful

Sorry for so many questions

Ineed. As mentioned in one of the threads I linked to

Set-Top Box Brand: Samsung
Box Channels: No leading Zeros
Set Top Box enter key: (enter key to complete channel): No

Also, and this is very important, turn the mini-guide (on the Samsung) OFF.
