Now TV remote

[Anonymous User]

Hi,

Does anyone know how I stop the Now TV remote controller from controlling my TV. When I turn Now TV off, it turns my TV off. Then when I turn my TV on with it’s remote, it turns my Now TV on again!

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous User 

The on/ off standby button towards the top of the NowTV smart remote is intended to switch off and on your television by design.

This button wasn't designed to switch off the NowTV stick or smart box, where the stick or box will go into power saved mode after a few hours of non use or if you have connected the stick to a usb port on your television, then once you switch your TV into standby mode either on the smart remote or your TV remote if should then drop power to the stick and power the stick off.

Only use the standby button on the NowTV remote when you actually want to switch off your television.

Thanks Legend. A bit frustrating when I want to turn Now TV off to put Sky box on (for freeview) but I will get used to it, I guess.

Hi @Anonymous User 

If you don't like the feature, then maybe go into the NowTV stick or smart box Settings, under Remote, Set up Remote for TV Control and try disabling the IR command codes for your TV by doing the opposite and ignoring the music prompts on screen.

Personally i really like both the on/off and Volume adjust TV buttons on the NowTV smart remote, which saves me picking up and using my television remote when watching NowTV or Netflix 😁.

As @schnapps says, NowTV is on whenever your TV is on, and on even when your TV isn’t, if you power it from its mains power supply.

So when you want to watch something else, don’t even try to switch the NowTV Stick off; just switch away from it with your TV remote Source button, or maybe just switch the Sky box on, and it will grab the TV anyway, automatically by CEC.
