    We have a Vodafone TV set-top box, about 2 years old. And a new Sony Bravia TV. However, I'm now finding that volume can only be controlled from the Sony remote, and the programs switched from the Vodafone remote.

    I tried to run some setup to allow the Sony remote to manage the Vodafone box, using an IR blaster, but it throws an unexplained error.

    Any tips anyone? Very frustrating to have to use 2 remotes for everything.

    In order to control your television’s Power, Volume Up/ Down and Mute buttons, please follow the steps below:

    Press OK and 0 at the same time. The TV Power button will flash white.
    Press the TV Power button once. Hold your TV remote control in front of the Vodafone remote control and press the Power button. The Vodafone remote can now power your TV On/Off.
    Press Exit to complete.
    Repeat above process for Volume Up, Down and Mute.
    Test each action works correctly

    Power On/Off TV set test
    Volume Up and Down test
    Mute TV test.
    In order to cancel or reset the remote back to original setting press “OK” and “2” together for 5 seconds. The TV Power button will blink white confirming the reset. A small percentage of TV manufacturer devices do not support this feature. taken from the vodafone website..hope this is of help

    Thanks for that. I tried that and managed to get control of the volume but not the power button. That's a great first step, thanks.

    I tried this but the Sony throws up an error, saying try again later. No explanation what the error is.
