Recent updates to Altice Boxes?
About two years ago an update was pushed to the boxes Sagemcom boxes that killed about 50% of IR control. I use Control4, so I created some macros to mimic pressing guide and DVR to get a 1 click on the remote to those sub menus. The channel #s and channel up/down still worked. Life has been fine though was a messy few days until I resolved it.
Sometime Sunday my IR just stopped working on the Main box, not the mini box - that one works fine. I can see the IR is flashing when I send a command, its taped to the box and hasn't moved. But now, NO IR commands work - channel #s, channel up/down, etc.
I also notice how the main box is off every morning, even though I removed the sleep timer to auto shut down and I checked and its still turned off.
I find it odd as I had a tech out to my house 3-4 days before to check my signal and he marveled that I still had these old boxes and he tried to give me a new modem + streaming box to replace it and I refused - the main reason we stick with Cable is because my wife likes to channel surf by putting in channel #s, something you cannot do on those streaming boxes. Tech was there Wednesday, and these issues started popping up Sunday.
Anyways - anyone using IR + Sagemcom boxes notice something funny the last ~72 hours or os?
