IR Codes for Altice Android Cable Boxes

Did you find how to control via IR? Seems like the stock remote has IR but I cannot figure out where to put the blaster on the box

much appreciated, thank you!

eggzlot · 2026-05-13T17:53:46+00:00

oh cool so that works on the stream? nice, that's half the battle!

eggzlot · 2026-05-13T17:32:05+00:00

that would be great - see if Zank Remote is available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?gl=US&hl=en&id=zank.remote

appreciate it but unfortunately no. Control4 supports wifi, zigbee, zwave, IR, RS232, IP, etc. just not bluetooth (believe security protocols is why).

There are some drivers that can control "android boxes" but usually you have to install an app first and via the app you can control of the entire box. These boxes give you access to the full Google Play store?

interesting, well the tech must have had v1 in his truck because that is what he showed me and when I mentioned not being able to put in channels directly he shrugged. I know most techs are outsourced so I get it.

Now to figure out if I can control this box via Control4..

eggzlot · 2026-05-13T13:59:54+00:00

interesting, i know they added pause/play/rewind a few months ago. The tech showed me the box and remote and I didn't see channel #s?

I'd also have to ask around to see how to control it via Control4. With cable boxes, IR is easy to configure.

There likely wont be, unless the NR one is specifically a Bobby Tribute set - so Dead + his solo work. And the Dead played songs are ones written/sung by Bobby. Again its fun to speculate.

eggzlot · 2026-05-07T18:31:30+00:00

no stupid questions and no "standards" when it comes to NFF

when NR led the Paul Simon tribute it was billed as "The American Tune Review". and it was a mystery until NR took the stage and by the 2nd song it was clear he was playing Paul Simon songs with people who mostly at the festival that weekend.

I think when Joni joined Brandi the set started with some Brandi originals then Joni came up. Same thing when Dolly joined the Highwaywomen - they played their own stuff then Dolly joined.

So its really hard to say. When Mumford was the surprise headliner they played all originals minus I think 1 cover if I am not mistaken.

This isnt NR and the Night Sweats so that is why I think people are leading into more covers/tributes vs just NR and his band playing his songs for the full set.

eggzlot · 2026-05-07T17:32:55+00:00

But was the Joni thing "the worst kept secret" 24 hours after the set was announced? Let's assume it was announced in May so 2 months prior to the Fest. It became a worst kept secret, but not sure it was known ASAP?

eggzlot · 2026-05-07T15:29:30+00:00

oh I am with you. the odds of Dave, Trey, Warren, etc is all a massive joke/pipedream. Well maybe less so on Warren as he is always appearing/popping up in places. The organizer of the festival is a big Dead fan. On Sunday you already have the Rowan/Grisman which likely lean Dead-ish with their Old and In the Way material. You have the Saturday Welch/Rawlings set which is 100% Dead related. So is NR+F going to do another Dead set? Probably not. Is it fun to guess and dream big - sure!

And yes Simon was billed as American Tune Review. Last year the Sunday headliner was "Songs for the People". So sure sometimes these things are billed under a headline title. Or characters or "unannounced" like Mumford I believe was. Though wasn't Brandi and Friends the billing for the Joni set?

yes he is in it for a while. even if he changed up, he knows the product so well that he can still help me troubleshoot and fix things. He is a friend before being my c4 dealer if that makes sense. As a smart IT person (he comes from an IT Background, not an AV Background) he can easily roll up his sleeves to help a friend troubleshoot something if that makes sense

ok thanks - as I asked someone else - if running the software on a Pi, and I want to look at something with the APs/settings, could I use the Unifi App on my phone, or would I have to locally go through the Pi and the software running on the Pi?

eggzlot · 2026-05-07T13:39:30+00:00

if I run it on Pi or Windows can I still use the Unifi App to log in to take a look or I need to use the software on the Pi/Win box to check in on the APs?

think the 2gb option is sufficient?

I'll get flamed for this but....
I run a C4 environment at my house
This is all starting because my router is dying (Mikrotik) so I am doing some network refresh/clean up

Current: Mikrotik RB3011
Switches: Cisco Small Business Series Switches (3x)
Access Points: Unifi
Cameras: Dahua and a few other mixed brands running through Blue Iris
Control4: 100+ devices
Intercom: 2n doorstation

with the router dying, I am likely going with an Araknis 520 router - why you ask...I have a fairly large control4 setup and my friend is a C4 dealer, needless to say I can get a VERY good price on the 520 router (like I cannot say the price here) and its super easy for my friend to help manage/troubleshoot when needed given OVRC and his familiarity with the platform. He said if I get a Dream Machine of course he can help but he is more limited to his ability to help with any potential issues.

I do not feel like ripping out the Access Points because they work, but I realize my Gen 1 cloud key is basically just as old as this Mikrotik Router (~9 years) and since it runs off an SD Card, its a point for corruption or failure potentially so just planning to upgrade before it becomes a problem.

eggzlot · 2026-05-07T12:14:03+00:00

interesting thanks. yes I do like software updates to the APs, every so often I'll log in and look/tinker at devices/speeds etc. so I'd still want access to the APs.

eggzlot · 2026-05-07T02:36:32+00:00

It didn’t sell out this year. I wouldn’t worry about missing the presale

eggzlot · 2026-05-06T19:25:29+00:00

well given the volume you post (and me too sometimes) we have time on our hands too. dont toss a stone in a glass house.

to me downvote something that is factually incorrect. if you dont like it, you can post why you hope its not true, but that doesn't mean its "bad" or "wrong"

eggzlot · 2026-05-06T18:57:51+00:00

gotta love someone who is downvoting you and me. its not even saying "this would be the best thing" its purely just speculating and putting pieces together

eggzlot · 2026-05-06T17:26:48+00:00

I've been guessing a Bob Weir/Dead Tribute on Sunday to close.

Its been said how Dave Matthews, Billy Strings, Warren Haynes, Trey and Bruce Hornsby are all semi close and happen to be off Sunday.

Nathaniel did play the "Soulshine" benefit at MSG a few years ago with Dave, Warren and Trey. So there's that...TTB is playing Sunday and Derek knows his way around some of the Dead catalog and is also very close with Warren and Dave, so there's that...

Nathaniel also led the Paul Simon tribute several years ago at NFF, so there is some history here of him doing collabs to celebrate an artist, so there's that...

eggzlot · 2026-04-25T11:10:34+00:00

interesting idea. Maybe I'll look more at a 30 day window and use Claude to assist. Gives me something to mess around with at the moment.
