Which IR dongle for Swisscom TV 2.0? Buying recommendations?

Take a look at the swisscom website under tv accessories 🙂

Attention: choose the right box

Hello, so this fits the UHD box:

With our UHD box and the Neeo (previously Logitech Harmony Touch) we still use the USB receiver from the old TV-Box, but it’s only available in the bay:

Good morning, I think you have been helped in the meantime, is that correct?

@UrsSch

Not everyone wants or can always put their hands on money to buy what Swisscom would like. How much does the box currently cost, still 120.-?

Hello @Gioni

It is clear that not all customers want to buy a new TV-Box.

The customer can and may decide for themselves.

But if the customer invests a lot of money in such a good Logitech RC One, then the note about the new UHD STB is certainly helpful, because in my opinion it clearly has some advantages over the HD version.

Hello, what if I buy a UHD box at Ricardo and connect it to myself?

Does it work properly after a reset, or does Swisscom have to “unlock” it?

Ps.: The box still costs 120CHF, which I find completely overpriced for a long-time customer!

Thank you until then 🙂

you can install without anything.

should even work without a reset

Hello @blockbuster98

You can use a Swisscom UHD STB purchased from Ricardo at home without any problems if it TV-Box has no defect 😉 which could be the case.

The only thing that doesn’t work is that you can then run both of your SCTV boxes at the same time.

Each one runs individually on your Anschluss. But not both at the same time.

If you want both TV boxes to work at the same time on Anschluss, then you have to contact the Swisscom hotline so that they can increase your Anschluss (TV-Box counter). However, this still has a cost impact if you want to operate additional TV boxes on your Anschluss.

But replacing your HD TV-Box with a UHD TV-Box is possible.

I’m also looking forward to the answer @UrsSch

My conclusion: neither Swisscom, nor Ricardo or the customers seem to care one bit that the HD box is actually the property of Swisscom…

But it has apparently already happened that Swisscom then charges the customer the 150.00.

Hello @blockbuster98 @kaetho

I’m not a specialist when it comes to legal details.

But as far as I know, the HD-TV-Box is clearly the property of Swisscom according to the contract (commercial loan).

The UHD TV-Box is then the property of each customer again, as it has also been paid for by the customer.

I can’t tell you why these HD TV boxes appear on Ricardo, for example, and this has no consequences for the actual SCTV customers that the STB originally had.

I’m guessing that the effort and return are not correct or these boxes are not tracked 100%.

I don’t know these details myself.

But if you @blockbuster98 want to be on the safe side, then you are not allowed to sell the HD box but can keep it with you or give it back to Swisscom.

Another comment on “Buy IR dongle for HD box”:

It’s like investing in a dead horse…

No, not strange, but logical The whole text that you linked , refers to the UHD box.

“If you have purchased a Swisscom TV-Box (UHD) from the latest generation, it is your property. If you no longer need it, you can return it. Swisscom can refresh the TV-Box and make it available to another customer as a replacement device.”
