Just heads up - the LG magic remote now works with sky stream.

enter sky when programming the remote. - when manually adding it was either the 3rd or 4th option.

I've an LG C1 and magic remote and I'm unable to make the remote control sky stream pucks?

Are you able to explain in more details please?

I have an LG CX and when setting up the universal control it seams to think it is a SKY Q box and there dose not seem to be a way to change it.

Any ideas as to how to get it to control a Puck?

You can go into the LG remote settings for each input and change what it thinks it's talking to (there are 3 options for Sky: SkyQ, SKy, and one more which I can't remember what it's called) but none of them seem to work.

The remote is successfully controlling my AppleTV but it won't work with Sky Stream. Anyone out there got this working?

My LG remote works fine in controlling Sky Stream.

My LG controls stream fine. You have to go in to the section on the LG tv where you set up the remote, select sky not Sky Q. Think it's about the third option

I have set it to Sky and it still doesn't work.

Do you know if it uses IR to send the commands and if so do you need to put the Stream puck into IR mode with the Sky remote first?

I thought it used hdmi to send the commands but the power button on the magic remote is flashing when i press something which suggests (to me at least) it might be IR?

It's not as simple as setting to sky. You have to manually do it.

What I've done is gone through the menu set up where you select set top box, sky, and then choose from 'SkySomething', 'SkyQ' and 'Sky'. Is that what you mean by do it manually? I've set Sky that way and it doesn't work for me.

What's odd is that on the next step when you confirm the choice and it takes you to the page to test it it just skips through that part so I can't verify it's working.

5. select the HDMI input where you lr stream box is

6. press manage settings at the bottom

@Arthur7 Following the instructions from step 11 onwards.

Thanks @Anonymous. It's not clear to me why this will be different to simply picking Sky from the STB list but I'll give this a go.

@Anonymous thanks for the useful guide which after some adaptation worked on my LG C9. Have you found a button to send the puck the home command rather than using the set top box standby button twice?

@Chrisee Pressing the back button on the LG remote brings up the sky stream home menu for me 🙂

@Anonymous unfortunately the back button it doesnt seem to work on my older TVOS system but it is still a big step forward.

I followed the steps but it still isn't working for me. Could someone that has it working please help me by checking if you need line of sight for the LG remote to the puck? (I.e. for IR commands) I thought this sent the commands via hdmi but perhaps that is not the case? Does CEC just do the basic stuff and then the rest is via IR?

@Arthur7 @If you followed the instructions it will work. Yes you need line of sight. The LG remote isn't blue tooth

Re: Sky Stream now works with LG magic remote

Arthur7 — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 12:04:25 GMT

Ok - I thought the commands were sent from the LG tv to the puck via hdmi - I have line of sight from the remote to the tv but not to the puck. I will try installing the IR blaster that came with the tv. Thanks!

Re: Sky Stream now works with LG magic remote

Arthur7 — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 20:47:44 GMT

Just following up on this as I'm seeing a lot which suggests the LG magic remote sends most commands via RF rather than IR (which makes sense as it works without being pointed at the tv), and also that HDMI-CEC (or LG Simplink) is there to use the HDMI cable to control connected devices. Surely this would mean that the LG remote would communicate with the TV and the TV would send the commands to the puck via HDMI? Can anyone point me at anything that shows this isn't how it works? (I'm not trying to be argumentative here I would just like to understand all of this as right now it's not making much sense)

Thanks

@Arthur7 @You are over complicating the matter. You asked how it could be done, I went to the time and trouble and provided very straightforward instructions to help you . others have followed and been successful. I have no idea about the technical questions you are asking, the LG magic remote works with sky stream
