That was the setting I was on about. Odd you had it set the same way I have it but the behaviour is different. CEC could be confusing things but then I would expect it to interfere with “Always on, unless the Off key is pressed” as well. But if it’s now working how you want it that’s what counts.

This is exactly how my X1 works. When I switch from one Activity directly to another what is needed and already on stays on and only what is not needed turns off. Been a while since I set mine up but think there is a setting allowing you to choose how it behaves.

You can reorder Activities so the most used one is at the top of the list, this feature really needs to be added to the Favourites/Macro keys screen, scrolling to the bottom for the most used Macro is really annoying.

I totally agree and currently this is the most annoying part of the X1 and really limits the number of Favourite/Macro keys as the one you use the most can end up at the bottom of the list. I think having separate Favourite and Macro creation areas that then become one list is probably going to make it harder to come up with a way of editing them. I personally don’t use Favourite keys but have lots of single key Macros (in a bid to stop them appearing randomly). I’m sure having just a single area would aid in being able to make the list editable. I hope this makes sense.

If its still under warranty e-mail them with a video of the issue and they will replace it. They did with me. If its out of warranty or you just wish to fix it get some Electrical Cleaner (its nonconductive so don't just use any old cleaner) quick squirt down the gap and all will be well again.

I believe any 3.5mm jack IR blasters will work, I remember someone else mentioning it, so I think their comment “You can purchase IR blazers with 3.5mm plugs” means this. If you live in the UK this link may help (they look identical to what you get in the box) and if I am wrong just send it back. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bolongking-Extender-Extension-Transmitter-Compatible-Red/dp/B01MT59LFO/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2788LYMN9WPNY&keywords=3.5+ir+blasters&qid=1699296385&sprefix=3.5+ir+blasters%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-2

Yes I have had this happen with CEC On. What can happen is one of the devices in your Activity will turn on and send a CEC signal to the TV to turn On, the X1 then sends a signal to turn the TV On but as its already On it actually turns it Off, if this happens quick enough you won’t even notice. So make sure CEC is turned Off on all your devises.

I had a similar issue when I first got the X1 turned out I had put the Hub in a dodgy WiFi spot. Try moving the hub near to your router and see if things improve, if not its not that.

If you have added SkyQ using Bluetooth try adding it instead using the IR database or vis versa. I found with my Humax Aura that the Bluetooth database was missing some buttons but were there in the IR database. As far as the lack of a record button on the X1 I have programmed a long press of OK to be record in my Watch Aura Activity but you can assign any short key press or long key press button you like.

Just in case Sofabaton do not reply to this to let you know it has already been reported to which they have said they have fixed it and an update is due next week. If you can't wait e-mail them and ask for an advanced copy.
