eggzlot Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Trying to hook up known working IR’s to control the boxes. I unpaired the Bluetooth remote and that still did not work. I moved the IR over the entire face of the box holding channel up (And down) and nothing moved the channels. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that driver work? Do these Sagem boxes even have an IR on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i had altice one i just used the old STA Driver and Cablevision used that code set on the new boxes for legacy remotes in circulation. I am 95% sure if you switch to the STA driver it will work. eggzlot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the flashlight method to find where to place the IR without much luck - do you recall the best position for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(altice one was not kept very long as it sucked) it was closer to the middle if i remember correctly. just flash codes until you see the box change while moving the blaster.

(altice one was not kept very long as it sucked) it was closer to the middle if i remember correctly. just flash codes until you see the box change while moving the blaster. yep that is what i did last night, move the blaster as i held down channel up/down, but like you pointed out, i may need a different driver so far after 48 hours with altice it seems ok. I had Hulu and got error messages daily, buffering, etc. And that was with Fios 100 up/down. With the new altice packages its the same price for 220 channels plus 200 up/down vs Hulu Live TV and 100 up/down. so I am not "thrilled" and "excited" but my wife will not cut the cord and get rid of live TV yet. Altice now lets you put their router into bridge mode so that is nice, and I reconfirmed no Double Nat on my system, so that is a step up.

Repliak Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Sorry, I have an sagemcom DCIW303 HD (with HDMI as an output). Do you know which cable box driver will suit? Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
