Thanks, I did have to unpair the remote from the TELUS box to have it go into IR mode to learn the IR commends, so far I think this will solve the problem.
Here is the link to the support thread with Telus https://forum.telus.com/discussions/My_Home_Services_and_Devices/rb21t-remote-and-telustv-24s-ir-or-bt/176180
I did get word from Telus that the remote is only IR in the initial setup and once the remote connects to the box it is only Bluetooth no IR. I have tried to add Android TV box and Other but can't get it to learn button commands I only get the continously spinning circle regular or long pressing the Telus remote button nothing registers with the base.
You can see from my post they never do contact anyone , they just say they will to give the appearance they actually care! https://bbs.sofabaton.com/post/1560
You can see from my post they do not seem to want to actually communicate with anyone , they post make posts to say they will to give the appearance they care at all! https://bbs.sofabaton.com/post/1560
