Questions about remote control survey

[birdman]

Maybe the alternatives would work if you had the remote that matches. This may allow two boxes of the same brand/model to work independently in the same room using two different remotes.

I have that problem, but since I only have the remotes that came with the boxes being able to change them to a pair with no clashes isn't something I've been able to do.
And, oddly, from time to time my MBtwin (which has a card flap over the IR receiver so that my et8000 doesn't affect it) sometimes "locks-up" and won't respond to power on - but when this happens I can start it up with the "<<" key on the et8000 remote.

This is what my menu look like. The dreambox remote control entries are nothing to do with which remote I actually have.

OpenWebif and help use the exact same supplied remotes for both the ET10K and Ultimo4K.

I haven't checked the key mappings, but didn't noticed any that were wrong when using them in the past.

.... and, FWIW, after reflashing, the restore wizard also uses the same remote.
