xtrend et 10000 remote change
Hi
So i reveived my et 10000 box today and flashed openvix. Now because i am so use to the vu solo2 remote, i wanted to use this.
So i went to the system settings > Input devices> Configure remote control type. I selected Vu+. But for some reason i still can not use my Vu solo2 remote.
It is strange because when i had the mut@nt for a brief time, i managed to change it and it worked straight away. It is a genuine solo2 remote.
Any idea why it is not working? It is not that the xtrend remote is bad. I just am soo used to the vu remote and i am sure there is a way to get it to work.
Thanks
