Use V2 remote to control tv as well?

Post by velovibes » Tue Jul 06, 2021 23:09

Hi, I have just received my V2 after having had consistent problems with my T4 - overheating, dropouts. I have looked everywhere for info on how to program my V2 remote to also control my LG tv, but couldn't find anything. Is it possible to use the V2 remote for other devices like TV's. If so, where can I find instructions on how to do that?

Thanks. Do you have recommendations how best to reduce nr of remote controls - for TV, BW, receiver and Google TV? Many years ago I used a Logitech Harmony, but I didn't like it much. It wasn't very intuitive. Having said that, it may have improved.

I find the old Java-based setup tool for the Harmony horrible to use. The Web-based setup software for newer models (I have a 785) may be better, but I've never tried it.

Logitech seems to be getting out of this market anyway.

Have to agree that the java setup tool was terrible. The Web based setup software is marginally better but tedious to fully customise a remote. But, by and large, it works.
