How to re-pair the remote with the unit? Anyone?

Would the “Factory reset” button on the bottom of the unit somehow serves as a remote re-pair?

Thanks,


(from the manual) Press [V] > Devices > Pair Devices > … (that will need a paired remote or a backup remote).


Is there any hardware re-pair button on the unit? In case for some reason the included remote become unpaired.

As I read it the remote is paired once setup is complete...(it does not specify in what part of the setup process this is accomplished..i would suspect fairly early )....I would assume to re-pair it with the receiver you would run setup again.

Looks that way (from he manual). Unless there is an alternative way & is not mentioned in the manual yet (hopefully).


Generally all GTV boxes have a remote re-pair button on the units.

I seem to be able to pair my Sony's remote with Fn+select.

Well that was a pretty worthless video!

Extremely worthless.


As an aside, can we get this thread and the other thread merged? It's kind of a pain to have to check both threads to get information and updates on the player.

For a second there I thought half the video would be of him trying to open the box.

Is there an App for Gaikai (or coming) on Google Play store to go with the Co-Star? Could Onlive thinking to change direction?

Latest I read was that they are letting go about half or more of their staff (firing) and are being bought by a yet to be name private group. However the info i have read also states they are not going out of business (maybe a name change), however therre may some serious delays to development do to the transition.

Which company is being bought? If Vizio then do you have a link to some news article?
